Been thinkin' 'bout your statement on the gas out/air in.
I really don't think everything is right with your tank setup. First off, in stock form there should be a vacuum line running to the tank which siphons off fumes from the gas tank. 2nd, if your cracking the gas filler gas cap your defeating this feature.
When your going up a hill the gas moves to the back of the tank, if you have less than 1/2 tank you may be sucking air into the pump? Especially if you are accelerating? Just a thought brother..like I said something's not right with this setup.
BTW I pulled the pump when I found the pressure was dropping to 20psi which was causing the bog-out, I still have a miss on acceleration which relates to the electrical system now. After about an hour of use I start getting 17 volts to the battery which causes some faulty acceleration. I suspect the 17 volts may have killed the last fuel pump. More news later on this issue.
Thanks for the input, and thanks again for sticking up with me about that screwball jerk from the Africa MR2 Club.

PS Here's the dwrg of the EVAP which shows the vacuum line coming off the canister then to the gas tank.

When I fill up my tank, and go up a hill . . . my tank doesn't let air in to replace the gas pumped out. It stutters, but when I loosen up the gas filler cap it doesn't happen.
Your problem could be a different version of mine.
