Can't diagnose from here, try a new fuel filter, have the fuel pressure checked, best I can do for you.

A convertor can be checked with a back pressure test at the oxygen sensor hole. Back pressure shouldn't exceed 1.5 psi. Anything more than that, and you have a converter plugging up. I would suspect a TCC solenoid not disengaging, causing the engine to bog once in overdrive by not unlocking and allowing the motor to pick up RPM. You can unplug the TCC harness and if it stops bogging, that's the problem. How long has it been since you tuned her up, including the fuel filter as Maxwedge suggested?
