Still have my problem.

well now im confused.

My car was acting up majorly so replaced a ton of parts.

Ive gone through and replaced all of my ignition system but the coil however i had my coil tested. I replaced my fuel filter, ran a bottle of fuel injector cleaner not sure on the brand it was a few weeks ago...

Its still chugging. any ideas??

You start up the car... then once you start driving you cant accelerate fast at all. you put it to the floor it dies... press it down a decent amount and it will like "Chug". Like it wont accelerate anymore. to get to 25 mph it takes me a complete block in town. other than that I'm not really sure how to explain it..I hope that helps some because i need to fix this problem soon.

parts all replaced within the last 3,000. I think first it went plugs wires, cap and rotor, then distributor, ign. module, then fuel filter. I think i'm forgetting something. TPS was replaced also.

I haven't checked injectors like changing them out. That maybe next to replace.

Any other parts that may have gone bad?

Re: Still have my problem.

well the ignition started screwing up then ended up dying so all of the ignition was gone through and replaced. i was getting the check engine for quite some time for the TPS so fixed that to get the light off.

the problem ive had for awhile but it never was bad. It happened like once or twice a week well backing up... Now its to the point were i cant get anyplace in a hurry because it does it. Constantly.

Re: Still have my problem.

You really need to hook a scanner up to it so you can see what all the sensors are reading. Otherwise you're just shooting in the dark. You might try unplugging the MAF and seeing if it runs better without it (bad MAF if it does).
