Default 85 si boggs down until 3500 rpm or so, then takes off.

85si prelude .fuel injected. automatic. High miles. Bought it drove it 20 miles home, drove great. Now if i start it and let it idle, it will idle fine for a few minutes then start wanting to die but it never actually does. When i take off it is bogged down and will only go about 20 mph till i get it it over 3500 rpms or so then it takes off and runs fine at a higher rpm. Takes awhile to get past 3500 have to feather the gas and pray. If i start it and drive right away it drives fine. Drove around 6 or so blocks, did great, then stopped at let it idle and it bogged down again. any ideas?

When is the last time you did a tune-up?

Fuel filter, spark plugs, dizzy cap, dizzy rotor, ignition wires etc

Try using some seafoam, too. I would dump atleast half the bottle into the fuel tank, preferably the whole bottle.
