Hey everyone, so I'm pretty much at my wits end right now. For the past few weeks I've been trying to fix my sluggish acceleration problem and nothing I do seems to fix anything. So far what I've done is a full tune up incl. new fuel filter, oil change, spark plugs/wires, dizzy cap/rotor, I've replaced the manifold converter assembly AND I've replaced the shift solenoid.

After I replaced the manifold converter assembly it got rid of the clicking noise and it kind of fixed the throttle response but still it's NOT normal at all. I can barely make it up hills without gaining substantial speed beforehand and I can't launch to save my life.

I genuinely have NO idea what it could be, however my dad said that it could be my fuel injectors. I just can't keep replacing things and wasting money on **** that I don't need.

Any help is appreciated.

 

you might want to try a compression test just to rule low compression out.

 

The CEL is not on? If it is pull the codes of course.

A major thing that can make the car sluggish with no CEL is incorrect timing. Also check for mouse nests in the intake.

 

^Agreed. That sounds like the problem I had when my ignition timing was waaay off.
