1992 Stanza Bogs Down?

[dadrdh]

I have a 1992 Nissan Stanza. From a dead stop, if you floor it and hold the pedal down, at about 35 MPH, it bogs down and I have to back off the gas to stop the bogging down. Very frustrating!
It does the same thing when I try to accelerate to get on Interstate. I have changed the mass air flow meter, fuel pressure regulator, and changed the fuel filter, even tried running Premium gas ,<Yikes>

I took it to our local Nissan Dealership, and had it checked. They said the mass air flow sesnor was bad, so I put a new one on it,which I did, they said it was NO good that I needed to buy THEIR mass air flow sensor.......($700.00) Sooo, being on a Social Security budget, I bought a used Nissan mass air flow sensor that was guarnteed to work, from a reputable junk yard.The thing still bogs down! Soooooo, back to the Nissan Dealership I go. They said, that the mass air flow sensor on there was working, and now I needed a timing chain and gears......($1,200)

Has anyone been through anything like this, or got ANY advice for me? The car runs to darn good to have a either one of these problems! I love that Ole Nissan, and need to find out the problem.
All advice would be appreciated! Thanks,

Sounds like what my 92 is doing. It was diagnosed by a local Nissan Tech as having carbon build up in the EGR passages. You will need to remove the plenum to get at things. They also recommended replacing a couple of tubes in there. I haven't done it yet because of time and cold weather. Dealership quoted parts at around $40 and labor at $380. So I figure it's gonna take a weekend.

I have a 1992 Stanza doing the same thing and I tried replacing many of those parts mentioned. Luckily I have another one I got many parts from. Anyway I replaced the distributor and the problem is now gone.

check the fuel pump for proper pressure and volume.

it could be timing related though like mentioned above.
