it feels like a shortened throttle really bc if i stand on the gas with alot of force it spools a little better.... its fine when i have over half a tank but once it gets there it starts acting gay.... love the car but hate this ****... i really hope its not supposed to do that bc ill have to reprogram the ecu bc its gay

It could have something to do with an old fuel filter...
