Re: bogging
Seems the bogging starts with a warm engine. Check the coolant temp sensor. Knock sensor is also critical to smooth engine operation, sort that out also.

Re: bogging
I lost a valve on cyl 3. Big chunk out of it. My mechanic said it was due to lean running condition. I have had a persistent bogging issue for almost 2 yrs and unable to solve it here in Phoenix.

Re: Motor not started in 12 months
Good approach....where exactly is igniter module, what does it look like?? Would just leaving spark plug wires disconnected for a few cranks do the same thing?
