I'm having the same problem.

The most obvious way to notice it is in neutral. I lightly press the gas pedal and the rpms drop from a good 1.5rpms to 1.0 or below sometimes. Also when shifting from 1st to 2nd and so on when you have the clutch down ready to make the shift and you tap the gas it has same bog or lag as described above. I know at least I suffer from this up to 4th. Havent really noticed on 5th.

I've only had this car a few weeks ('90 Coupe) and I admit I bought it as a lemon but its running way better now. If I can fix this it would be a blessing.

I have changed the following since purchase:

- Plugs (Denso)
- Wires (Bosch)
- Cap & Rotor
- PCV Valve
- Air Filter
- Oil & Filter of course
- Valve Cover Gasket
- Clutch Slave Cylinder
- Brakes all-around

Thats about all I can remember for the moment...

I will be doing the following for further maintenance next:

- O2 Sensor
- Fuel Filter
- Speed Sensor
- Idle Sensor
- Tranny Fluid & Filter

And I may need a new starter...

I will also cut off the speed and rev limiters cuz those are no fun...

Anyone know how to fix that bog?

:::::::EDIT:::::::

Im also running rich. Another problem that I have which may be related is that after running my car say 30 minutes and I get out to buy a pop at the store or whatever (a 3 minute shut down till I get back in the car) when I go to turn it on the car cranks but doesnt catch. I sometimes have to hold the crank for a good 30 seconds or more then the car starts to shake and vibrate a little until it catches on and then vrooooom. Even if I pump the gas pedal as I crank I get nothing. But then when the car finally turns on Ive released to much fuel into it and it runs rich and blows smoke a little bit. Smells like fuel real bad as I crank too.

Hopefully these are related problems with the same or similar fixes.

Thanks!
