This sounds a lot like the symptoms my 740 exibited when the cat finally broke up and started blocking the outlet, do you have any rattling sounds from down under? The '88 would bog down under hard acceleration when the AMM was starting to fail, odd thing was it tested good per the Bentley's tests. Both felt similar with the cars runing OK under lite load and having issues at load.
Sorry I can't be more specific
