Acceleration Problem???
My 92 LX 5.0 does not respond : on hard acceleration it "gets quiet as if I took my foot off the accelerator" and does not pick up any speed but when I lightly press it will gradually pick up speed and change gear. Just put in plugs, cap and rotor less than 2 months ago, after a winter storage. It does not have a catalytic converter any longer, so I'm lost. Don't suspect fuel injectors, or fuel filter, because I can "gun" it in park and nuetral just fine so I know it is getting gas. Any ideas?

No Go. I changed the TPS sensor. Still picks up speed and changes gears if I lightly press down on the gas. But as soon as I "gun-it" it stops accelerating as if I took my foot off the gas, and continues to be quiet with the accelerator fully pressed down. But whats strange is that in Park and Neutral it raises the motor just fine up to full throttle. Any other ideas?

It takes air, fuel and spark to run. It idles, so you know air and spark are present.
Bubba's right. Confirm fuel. Pressure first, then injectors. TPS comes to mind because it's a wear part. Corroded or mal-adjusted and it won't tell the PCM to deliver fuel. If it's OK, move on to fuel pressure and volume.
