loss of power on acceleration
hey guys,
lately i've been experiencing a loss of hp on acceleration. But it's not all the time.... I've replaced my knock sensor about a year ago and that seemed to have fixed the same problem i had last year (previous KS was actually split in half) so I was wondering what else it could possibly be?
I have a 96 max with 119k miles on it... or 190,000 km's manual.
I use amsoil oil changing it at regular intervals. not sure what other info i could provide to help figure out the prob... :-/
oh... to note, there no determining factor as to when i lose the hp... it's simply random...
What should i check out?
Thanks for the help

I'm no expert by any stretch, but my situation sounds a lot like yours, so I thought I'd share my info. I'm waiting for the parts to come in...by next week, I'll know for certain if it was the coils or not.
Good luck to ya.
