Poor Acceleration

Hello, It's been a while since I've been on the site ( computer problems ).

I have a 94 z28 now and I am having an acceleration problem. I think that a four cyl. could beat me now. I thought it might be the opti so I replaced it. It still isn't any better. I scanned it and there are no codes. If anybody has a suggestions it would be great. Thanks, Shawn

Re: Poor Acceleration

The tranny shifts fine. I'm leaning towards electrical but without tripping a code who knows.

Re: Poor Acceleration

Can you be more specific? Do you have a scanner? Are you getting any knock retard? What RPMs do you feel this at? Does it do it constantly or only when the car warms up? What throttle position does it happen at most? Does it ever disappear?
