No Power

I have a 1989 v6 automatic camaro. It feels like the engine is being held back. I had to replace the front brake lines and calipers due to a swelling of the inside of the hoses so the brakes wer constantly on. Also adjusted timing since it was off. It still feels like somethings holding it back. There was a slight decline on the road and i went to back up and had my foot to the floor and it VERY slowly backed up. When i'' driving on the wronf I can put my foot to the floor and it starts ahaking at 40mph. Any ideas? Anything at all would be appretiated.

Re: No Power

When was the last tune up? Does it still have a catalytic converter?

Re: No Power

If the OEM MULTEC injectors are still in the engine, replace them.

Just got a tune up about a year ago. I don't think it does
