This is almost exactly the symptoms that one of my 87's had. Almost total power loss at full throttle- OK the rest of the time. Turned out to be the connection at the AMM. I replaced it which solved the problem but then tried the old one again, and all was well. It was either not seated all the way in the connector, or a pin in the connector was making lousy contact. Either way it made me chase down a bunch of other problems, including an inoperable in-tank pump, and it ALWAYS was fine again after a restart.
Your 88 has the same fuel injection- I'd go after that AMM.
Good luck!
