1992 Buick Park Ave ultra 3.8l super charged mileage: 143,000. Easy highway miles, car drives like new except: Only when engine fully warm, at highway speeds, motor bogs down when I step on the gas. Instead of a downshift and power surge, the tachometer indicates slower rpm, and the engine decelerates the car. If I keep my foot on the gas, I hear a clanking from the engine. The only way to resume acceleration (or just maintain speed) is to let off the gas and or downshift manually. Just put in new plugs, fuel filter, air filter (all were in bad shape). But problem persists. When problem is really bad, it will even happen if I rev the engine in neutral (while rolling down the highway at 60 mph). No mechanics can identify the problem (supercharger?), And this car is too good to let go of. Please help. Thanks.
