So ever since I bought this Stang it would do this funny thing where around 2k RMPs the car would get real boggy no matter what speed. At first it was just on the highway. I would simply just need to step on the pedal and it would accelerate normally after a second or two. This would happen a couple times every few highway trips. I thought it was just the trans.

Now the problem is much worse. The car is super boggy in every gear. However if I put the pedal to the floor it'll snap out of it in a second and accerlerate normally. This bogging now carries up to 3500 RPMS if I dont put the pedal to the floor. I popped the hood yesterday to find my CAI came off the throttle body, like it was barley connected. I fixed this and though that was the problem. However the car is still doing this. I don't know what the problem is. I thought it may the MAF, Fouled injector, trans, coils? Someone help me out!

Start simple, when was the last time you changed your plugs, wires? How about the fuel filter?

+1 Start with fuel delivery and fire then move to more technical issues if the problem persists. Gotta have Fuel, Spark and Air.

My car was bogging at low rpm when my fuel filter was over due for a change. Sounds like you may just need to give it a tune up.

an idea.
exhaust leak/ aftermarket midpipe did this to my car.

The engine is probably being flooded, check for any o2 sensor codes.

even simpler, check engine light on?

Nope. Which is what gets me. When its nice out I am giving it a tune up. However I drove 30 miles today and it was fine.
