Default My Bogging Down problem solved

I have read a lot of posts lately about the bogging down problem with warm restarts as well as beginning of drive. My new 98 sport would start up fine and idle fine (mostly) but would bog down about a mile down the road. My rpms would go all the way down and back up again while losing power and driving speed. I would have to floor it to get power and rpms back. This problem would usely go away after about 10-15 minutes of driving. Sometimes in park when idleing it would sound like it was going to die and I could hear the airbox really sucking air.
I took it in today and found out I had two bad O2 sensors, one in the rear and one up front. It has been running beautifully since being replaced.

Just wanted to share what my solution was for anyone having a similar problem right now.

Thanks
Adam

after the poor running conditions it might be a good idea to throw a new set of champion plugs in it.
