1994 Q45T poor acceleration

[JW68]

Occasionally, even if I floor it, the RPMs and speed increase at a slow and steady rate. I don't get the quick engine response that I am expecting. What should I look at first?

The previous posts, especially the ones by Q45tech. All of them. Including the links.

Then go through your intake path and clean, replace and check everything.

Is the transmission downshifting properly?

Any codes?

Possibly Knock sensors and in dire need of an overall tuneup!

Could be. Pull the ECU codes to see if the KS code is stored. Does ambient temperature seem to have an effect on symptoms? I.e., does it happen more often when it's warm out?

[JW68]

Ambient temps seem to have no bearing on it. I hope you guys can bear with me while I comb through the threads to learn how to get codes off the ECU, I'm basically a newbie at this. Thanks.

Keep going! It takes a while to learn enough to ask the questions correctly with sufficent detail and data for the members here to respond meaningfully.

Hard for us to experience the symptoms over the internet.
