I recently came across this problem on my KA-T setup.
It has been running fine for over 2 years.
Problem started last nite, on my way home.
I got on the freeway.
As I accelerate to pass another car,
It bogged for half a second under part throttle acceleration.
Went back to normal.
Then today.
It didnt happen until I drove to the bank.
Car bogged for a second, went back to normal for 5min.
Drove again and it bogged the whole time i was part throttle.
Car didnt wanna go until I pushed the pedal atleast halfway.
When it bogs, it sounds like its missing and I can smell the unburnt fuel.
The coolant temp made no difference.
So I changed the spark plugs and changed the oil.
I noticed one of the spark plugs had oil on it.
#4 cylinder.
So I changed the valve cover gasket.
Throttle response was back and car felt faster.
(It was time to buy new plugs anyways.)
Thought the problem was gone until it did it again tonite.
This time, it started to bog then wouldnt accelerate
unless I was more than halfway again.
I decelerated until i could pull in at a gas station.
No problems until I pull it out of gear and the car dies.
Tomorrow Im gonna check the spark plugs again.
Does anyone know what the problem can be?
I was thinking possibly cap or distributor?
