Re: 2.8 bogs bad!

My old 1988 w/the 2.8 was damn near undriveable if the throttle body got all gummed / varnished up. Try taking the intake off at the throttle body and spray "Throttle Body Cleaner" in and wipe it down. You must use throttle body cleaner not carb cleaner. Carb cleaner will strip the protective coating off.

If that don't work maybe try plugs and wires. Good luck.

Not sure what code 34 is? I would have to get back to you on that.
