bogs out under load.....for a while.... ideas? 200 1986

hey guys, i just recently had a crazy couple of days with my 245.. it ran great but i accidently let the battery go dead...i get it jumped and get it home. the next morning its still dead so i swap in another battery i had and charge it up a bit.. the car turns over and over and over but no start. i call a volvo expert i know and we go through everything starting with the fuel pump relay (tried a new one), a new cap and rotor checked the hall sender and coil. Swapped out the jetronic with another and it still wouldnt start. well i put all of my original stuff back in it and it still wouldnt start...then i just went around and checked gas lines for frozen places in the rubber line or whatnot and went back and it started right up...cant figure out why though ahhh!! but anyways, after it started up I went and drove it down the road and back with no problems at all and then another 30 miles there and back to return some parts i borrowed and it drove just like it should, but then on the way to work it started to bog out and the rpms didnt want to go up....thats when i replaced the cap then and things were good. this morning i start it up and its bogging down only when under a load, the rpms go up like they should in neutral, but when accelerating it bogs out and i cant figure out why. after driving about 10 minutes or so this went away and it drove just fine. i know its not a clogged cat because that happened last year and i had it completely removed.. any other ideas?
