My '88 900S once had similar symptoms, which I interpreted to be fuel starvation under load. Replaced the fuel filter and and it ran normally again.
Since it's an '89, which is a year well-known for ECU problems, it may also be the ECU. But check the cheap stuff, like vacuum leaks and fuel filter first.
