Seriously?  My 87 auto has been bogging down lately when fully warmed up,
going from a full stop or accelerating out of a turn or what-have-you. The
tranny isn't slipping, the O2 and temp sensors are new. It seems to "get its
breath" around the top of second gear and runs normally at highway speeds.
Have you taken any pics or video of the repair process?
Any further damage from continuing to run it?
I have a road trip in five days- I was going to start on this by cleaning
all the engine grounds.

Cya,
Robert
