Car loses power while acceleration?

This problem is noticed on 1994 Chevrolet silverado model.

When you accelerate the car,the amount of fuel flow increases.But if required flow of fuel is not maintained,then engine will starve for fuel and car will lose power due to lack of fuel economy.

In this case it can be problem with fuel filter or distributor cap and rotor.

When was the last time this parts were replaced.If its very long time,then this parts needs to be inspected and replaced.

You need to check the fuel filter again and you can change it if its very old or worn out/dirty. Also check the cap and rotor for corrosion if those turned out to be good and test the fuel pressure when this is happening. It may be dropping down due to a weak pump.If the fuel pressure is checked low,then problem is faulty fuel pump.

Getting this possibilities checked properly will help you to confirm the problem.

Thanks.

Ford F150 sputters and bogs down upon acceleration?

This is common problem faced due to many possibilities.The most common possibilities for this problem are

Dirty fuel filter.

Worn out coil wires or faulty spark plugs.

Low fuel pressure.

Problem with catalytic converters.
First this possibilities needs to be checked and inspected.
If all this checked ok, then
It could be a dirty MAF sensor. Clean MAF sensor wire with brake cleaner. The MAF sensor is located near the air filter element. The wires are exposed to the air flow to the engine. Unplug battery for 15 minutes to rest PCM and road test for any changes.The MAF sensor is near the air cleaner box.

It is possible that you have a fuel delivery problem. You will need to check the fuel pressure with a gauge and hose long enough to drive and watch what the fuel pressure is doing especially under a load.Could be a bad fuel filter or even a weak faulty fuel pump. If that is the case, try replacing fuel filter first, if that doesn't work replace fuel pump.

Thanks
