Have you tried changing basic tune-up components like spark plugs, wires, distr. cap & rotor.

When your car bogs down then its either because theres something wrong with you getting spark or your fuel (lines, injectors, etc.)

the eacv only controls idle.

I have the same problem, and I set the tps and it got rid of most of the problem. Changed cap, rotor, ignitor, etc, and it still does it. If you ever get it figured out, let me know....
