Which engine, 4 or 6? These vehicles have several known issues including loss of power on acceleration. Replace the throttle body with one updated from amazon...about 50$ if you do it yourself. Check YouTube for howto..cheers
From what you say Daniel, your kickdown cable need's to be adjusted, here's how :
Down at the pressure lever on the front of the trans, loosen off the cable
retaining nuts so there is a little slack in the cable. then start taking the
slack out of the cable a little bit at a time; Rest a long screwdriver on the
end of the pressure lever, holding the screwdriver with one hand start opening
the throttle with your other hand.
Just at the point the idle RPM barely
rises, the pressure lever should just barely move.
Driving test; Going
along a level road at 25 mph light throttle, floor the gas pedal. The trans
should downshift to first gear.
repeat the same drive at 28 mph, floor
the gas pedal, the trans only downshifts to second gear.
Most likely it is running too ritch. should be around 7%. Mine did ecactly the same thing and I had several things done . Had the throttle body cleaned and installed a O2 senser.runs great now.
From minor problem to major problem. Try to replace your spark plug wires, rotor cap and the spark plugs, also it can be the injectors, plus if possible, try to replace the fuel filter which is located low under your EFI unit. If problem not solved, then it will probably be your A/T trans.
