Here's the deal...
3SFE in 88 Cam when in nuetral or park engine idles smooth, revs up with no problem. Put it in drive and there is a defintete lack of power, I have a tough time even getting the car out of our driveway. So far I have checked for vaccuum leaks, changed the Airflow sensor, and checked the timing. I am also getting spark on all four cyl. Once I get it on the road it will accelerate fairly well if I can get the engine over 2000rpm, I also notice if I feather the throttle instead of just stomping on it I get a little better response from the engine. I have not checked the compression since these symptoms have started since I havn't had a chance to borrow the compression tester yet. Although I did check the compression a few months ago and all the cyl were within normal levels.
Also in the last 3 months the fuel filter has been replaced along with O2 sensor, spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor.
Any thoughts as to where to go/look next?
