1992 ford crown Victoria bogs down on acceleration shakes and shimmies?

There are a few potential causes for this issue. Here are a few things to check:

- Fuel system: A clogged fuel filter or dirty fuel injectors could cause the engine to bog down on acceleration. Check the fuel pressure and replace the fuel filter if necessary. You may also need to have the fuel injectors cleaned or replaced.

- Ignition system: A weak spark plug or a faulty ignition coil could also cause the engine to bog down. Check the spark plugs and wires and replace them if necessary. You may also need to have the ignition coil tested and replaced if it is faulty.

- Air intake system: A clogged air filter or a faulty mass air flow sensor could restrict the amount of air that the engine is getting, which could cause it to bog down. Check the air filter and replace it if necessary. You may also need to have the mass air flow sensor cleaned or replaced if it is faulty.

- Transmission: A slipping transmission could also cause the engine to bog down on acceleration. Check the transmission fluid level and condition and add or change the fluid if necessary. You may also need to have the transmission serviced or rebuilt if it is slipping.

If you are not able to identify and fix the problem yourself, you should take your car to a qualified mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
