It could possibly be that there is a wore spot on your throttle position sensor (TPS). It basically is connected to the cable running to the gas pedal and tells the computer how much you're pushing down on the pedal.

If you find that it's bogging down more and more often (like when you need more power climbing hills and never really gets going), it could be that your catalytic converter is clogged, but this will eventually throw some check engine lights.

When i push the gas pedal the bogs down almost as if i am out of gas

Could be several things wrong. One your fuel pressure may be low which means it could be a bad fuel pump. Have you changed the fuel filter lately? Also could be throttle position sensor. Does it recover after it bogs down? have you changed plugs or wires?

Motor bogs down at stoplight when pushin gas pedal

The fuel pump relay will cause a stalling or no start condition. You are likely having mass airflow sensor, fuel pump, or fuel pressure regulator issues.
