Default 89 Chevy Celebrity

First I must say that I'm not dis-respecting this site by seeking advice about a celebrity. I also own a 1/2 ton pickup (88 Cheyenne) and a 70 Malibu/Chevelle. That being said, I'm new here and the Celebrity is just a car that I cannot figure out. I've put so much time into it that I cannot stand to give up now.

The car ran fine for a year after I got it. It started out as "Mom, the car wont start when I stop at the post office". Replaced one of the coil packs and the problem was gone.

Then the same thing started again and got progressively worse. Now it will start up fine but as soon as it hits operating temp, it bogs and dies. Pressing the gas pedal does nothing. I have replaced the TPS, AIC, temp sensor, computer, spark plugs (aware that has nothing to do with it), air filter, fuel pump, fuel filter, plenum gaskets... not in that order. OBD comes up fine, no codes.

I've tested the fuel pressure with the engine on and off and it's fine.

I'm debating now on three things. Ignition control module, fuel injectors, or knock sensor. The first is not easy, the second is expensive and the third is just a shot in the dark.

Any ideas? Any thought will be greatly appreciated and your Karma scores will hit an all time high.

Well in that case i would suggest you to take that to a mechanic and check with what is gone wrong. so that he surely let you know whats wrong and get that replaced for you.
