Just started getting a loss of power under light acceleration. Mostly noticable when I try to speed up at around 30 to 40 mph cruising speed. If I go light it is fine and also fine if I mash it, just pissy at about 1/4 throttle. Woulld appreciate some help. Also no cel on. Thanks.

Plugs and wires 2 years ago along with thermostat and all top end seals replaced. I do have an exhaust leak right now that is getting worse. Waiting on the parts to fix it. Was a dynomax exhaust that was on when I got it and has been getting replaced as it rots out. Now running flowmaster 50 series and no res.

Do want to say that she runs fine above 3000 rpm and if I do very light acceleration to 3k and then apply more I get no bogging. Cleaned the MAF last night gonna check plugs tonight.

What plugs did you put in it? My car ran like this shortly after I bought it and I came to find it had Bosch Platinums in it and 2 of them were melted. Replaced with some new Motorcraft's and she ran perfect!

Hope thats it!

The 511 is not a good thing - indicating you have a pcm issue. I'd reset codes and run it for a while to see if that one returns. If so, I'd swap out the pcm.

335 could be the dpfe sensor or could be wiring issue to it. I'd check connections on that circuit first.

If you cleaned your MAF and it's still doing it try driving the car with the MAF unplugged and see what happens..

Disconnected the MAF and no difference still ran crappy at light acceleration and now it stumbles on occasion at idle. Still getting the 335 code no 511. 335 says it is an egr code for the sensor circuit but have it shut off with the tweccer. But being as it runs the same when I switch back to stock program I guess it still is on now I start lookin at the egr system.
