notliving Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I have had this same issue with my 88GL Coupe since I've owned it. Runs great and gets great mileage but has a bog while accelerating. If I were to accelerate from a dead stop without feathering the throttle the car will bog down. Have not looked into the PCV valve yet and I do have a new fuel filter on the shelf. It has never really bothered me too much but it would be nice to be able to enter traffic without having to worry about being rear ended due to slow acceleration.

subarupert Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I had a similar problem turned out to be spark plug wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobiedubie Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 If all else fails, change out the distributor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phishnoob Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Just went through all this. New ignition everything made things better. A new throttle body from a car at the junkyard fixed it more. I had a check engine, so replaced both EGR solenoids with 33 ohm resistors and ran a vacuum line bypassing each of the two solenoids. The car as of yesterday runs perfectly now. The check engine light never came back. If you do have the solenoid valve code, then I'll help you out on this with info and pics. Those cost like 90 bucks each, and the junkyard just had crappy ones to swap out with my crappy ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans imports Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Try running a wire from - side of battery to bottom bolt on coil bracket and cleanup body this bracket must be well grounded or weak spark and injector pulse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoyaleSmith Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 what everyone else said. tune your spoob up. get some gas additive and run it through your car. find someone with a timing light. replace your fuel filter. replace your PCV for 3 dollars. drive it like the gutless old beast it is.

scoobiedubie Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Loose intake manifold bolts, or bad intake manifold gaskets or cylinder head gaskets that need to be replaced, will cause a bog that will drive you nuts, and will also be accompanied by coolant disappearing from the overflow bottle and a white residue on spark plugs.

scoobiedubie Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 A bad O2 sensor or one that looks like it is hooked up but actually is not, will cause an incredible amount of bogging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
