what is wrong?

91 coupe with 103k miles all stock. my car is driving like sh*t. if i am at a stop or doing anything less then 35mph it "boggs down" like it is getting a little gas even when i floor it. after 35mph and i step on it, it runs fine . tonight i drove for 25minutes and once i stepped on the gas from a stop and it ran great. then about 5-6 more times i was either stopped or going slow and stepped on it and it just bogged down, it still gained speed but real slow. and once when i stepped on it, it bogged down and 2 s4econds later i heard a pop under the hood and it still stayed bogged down. and just before i got home a got on it one more time and it ran great again. i dont know much about the mechanics of my vette so any ndetailed info. will help thanks jeff

I can offer a 'guess'.
Maybe its something in your fuel line, like a clogged fuel filter, dirty injectors, bad fuel relay, or failing fuel pump.

Fuel filter

It could be the fuel filter or a clogged cat. Change your fuel filter and have your cats checked.

check to see if you have any codes... it might get expensive to just start changing things out...
