99% of the time your situation is caused by fouled plugs and/or bad plug wires, replace them and try again.

For plugs get NGK BPR6ES's

For wires, I just got some new ones from NAPA but if you want something better then get Magnacores.
 
i had same problem with mine it bogged only when i floored it and all it was a fouled plug and my valve cover was kinda loose and there was oil in plug hole. it turned out to be a 11$ problem so go try that. sorry every one else already told you this but what the heck. later

NGK for both, check out dsmparts.com they usually have a package deal. Spark plugs should be gapped somewhere between .028 and .032, I usually keep it at .028.
 
problem fixed!!! i change the old plugs and wires with magnecore spark plug wire and NGK spark plug thanks guys for helping me:thumb:
