Ok, I am really in the dark now. I checked my overflow hose and while it was not in perfect shape it really does not look that bad. I also did the visual check down in the tank with a flash light, it looked pretty clear. So on the full tank I took a drive and the boggind down is was still and issue. So I drove home, mad some checks of the engine electrical connections. I get back in the car and take another drive. Drive perfect no problems at all. I stop in a parking lot and check the connections again. In the process of checking I unplugged the temp sensor on top of the oil cooler (oil temp sensor?) and it was not connected. I connect. I start driving and the bogging down starts again. I stop again and disconnect the oil temp sensor and she drives fine. Does this make sense? Additionally, when I have had trouble getting her started in the past, I thought this sensor was the air temp sensor and I was unplugging it and the car would start. Apparenly, I need a new sensor, but would it cause all these problems?
