It could be a bad diaphragm in your EGR valve. They often used ported vacuum and if there is a leak it won't show up until you are at higher rpms. A quick check is to remove the vacuum line from the EGR and plug it. Retest and see if the issue resolves itself. If so, replace the EGR valve.

The biggest cause of engine bogging is low intake vacuum and a bad EGR valve can do it easily.

SOURCE: 1997 buick lasabre custom high idle, transmission, stalling

had same problem i would check the Idel Air Valve and also check all of your vaccum hose lines makeing sure there are no cracks or splits in rubber connectors if there is repair immediatelt because over time they start to dammage the internal parts fo the engine and if youve replace tps mass air etc. sounds like a vaccum hose problem

Clean the sensor wire in the mass air flow sensor. Remove the tamper proof screws to remove the sensor holder and clean off the wire with carb spray or brake cleaner. Do not touch the wire with hands or rags.

What's the symptoms of a bad egr valve in a 1989 Buick lasabre

They are more known for mass air sensor problems , you could remove egr valve. To check if it is closing you shouldn't be able to blow through it, they idle rough exhaust gas reborn valve , so they run bad when stuck open

89 lasabre randomly wont start like a bad connection. SOmeone mentioned it might be the drive shaft sensor. My LaSabra has 147,000 miles. Any ideas??

I would start at the starter relay have you ever changed your starter it may be that the brushes in the starter are worn way down preventing a good connection at times

I just had my oil sender replaced because of a oil leak. My oil pressure gage shows 29 idling up to 65 while driving at 40 miles an hour. What is the oil pressure supposed to be in a 2000 Buick LaSabre?

30 is ideal for idling im my car at around 35mph its at 60psi just depends on how condition of the oil pump and rod/main bearing if there worn out u will have lower presser.

1992 buick lasabre not idling, so I replaced the idle air control valve with negative battery cable off, so it would reset the idle speed. car drives much better, but surges from time to time and the...

the idle is controlled by many different sensors on a computerized vehicle, some are oxygen sencor, water temp sensor or map sensor,, you really need to have the car put on a computer scanner. This in a long run will save you money by fixing whats wrong instead of just changing parts that may not fix it.
