Wow a lot of things have been covered here...I'm going to suggest something as a possibility that you havent looked at yet...how about your exhaust system is blocked by a bad cat?  that will choke the life out of it..and  come and go..and not be related to ign or fuel delivery..just a thought

If you have a vacuum gauge or access to one try looking at these two links for troubleshooting:

It's cheaper than a fuel pump (sorry about that):o

Thanks, I appreciate it, got I hope it is not the cat.  I had an exhaust (cat back) welded on by a local shop not too long ago and their crappy welds broke so they have to fix that for me.  Its just a slight leak behind the cat.  Maybe they will be able to see if the cat is bad.
I'll check out those vacuum gauge links as well.  Thanks!

The guy at advanced gave me a coupon code for their website so the fuel pump was only $40 bucks.  It was an OE Delphi one too.  Coupon code was "VISA" and shipping was free too if anyone else needs one or has anything they need to order from Advanced Auto there you go!

Here is my 2 cents worth.

When an engine bogs it means two things,
One: its not getting enough fuel.  
Two: its getting to much air to support combustion.
   
Test fuel pressure, it should read 43.5 psi,  this is tough to complete, these engines do not have a test port on them.  I just hook up a "T" with a pressure gauge on any connection going to the fuel rail.

Mass air flow sensor is sticking or not reading correct air flow.  Spray a high combustable fluid from an aerosol can around air intake lines and fuel injectors when motor is at idle.  If motor speeds up, you found an air leak where you were spraying.  If nothing was found, test MAF with volt meter, if faulty, purchase new MAF (very expensive $231) or take apart/adjust needle,  ( not recommended if you don't know what your doing).
