I had the same problem, but i got a code, which is system fuel too lean...I replaced both oxygen sensors and problem was fixed...I replaced MAP sensor, fuel pressure regulator, and i took it to a mechanic and it they told me that the voltages were too high, so i ended up replaced oxygen sensors...is working fine now...

Well, with my problem I haven't gotten any CEL codes or anything. Just the bogging. And I don't think it's that my car needs a tune up, but I will be doing one relatively soon so I will report back.

it could be that the clutch is contaminated and grabbing. Fluid level in te clutch master consistent? leaking slave can contaminate the clutch with brake fluid and then they just behave badly.

So let me get this right. If you're not able to take off from a stop in 3rd, then your clutch is fine?

I guess so. Sounds bass akwards to me. I would think if the clutch is bad, it would slip and NOT allow you to take off. Obviously there's something more to it than I know.

yeah, if you cant and if it stalls than clutch should be fine.

This makes sense.

So here is the update. Put some ngk g-power oem replacements didnt need/want anythIng expensive since there's really no gain or difference, but I put new sparks in and now it drives smooth, and the little sputtering/jerking went away !!! :)

The ngk-r I had in there were probably just toast and caused the car to do that.
