Power issues with an 02.

Ok here is the problem. I have no power.

The issue is this, When i am driving on a flat level surface the car runs fine. Up hill I loose all power and my grandmother would beat me up a hill in her walker.

In all seriousness when accelerating lightly the car runs and drives as advertised. When i accelerate harder the enging bogs down and i have no power. going up hill or on a flat surface. I have changed my plugs and wires. Plugs are gapped to spec. I do have a CEL but i have not had the codes read. I will be doing this at lunch and post the codes.

The reason for the plug and wire change was i got a misfire on #1 cylinder. so instead of changeing one i did all of them to include the #1 coil pack.

Again any help or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks
 


Oh i forgot to mention. I disconnected the MAF sensor and it seemed to be running a little better. but not much
 


UPDATE..

I had my CEL codes checked at lunch. I got the following codes

P0102 MAF - I got this probably because i have it unpluged
P0301

As far as the P0301 goes I have changed within the past 30 - 60 day the following: Plugs, Wires, #1 Coil pack. While i was at Autozone i checked my Fuel pressure and pre start it was at 52 and after start it did not move.

I can properly hit the cat without being at home so no update on that.

I did check my MAP sensor though and it seemed loose so i removed it to check the rubber and it seemed fine. I also checked the housing for the MAP and it to seemed loose so i removed that and popped it back in. The both seem really loose to me but another opinion on how they are supposed to be fitted would be great.

Thanks again
 
Going to think you are NA and not SC. The MAP should be tight. The cap should be tight. There is a rubber o-ring below the pcv, then the pcv, a spring an o-ring on the cap, then the map on the cap.
