I have a 1988 Toyota Camry. It suddenly started having acceleration problems. When you give it gas it goes very slowly until you hit about 25 to 30 mph then it suddenly gets it and will go. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and oxygen sensor in the front of the engine but these have not helped so far, the engine light is on, but it gives no codes.
Any ideas or suggestions?
The car has 185000 miles.

Could be one of the following below -check and test:

Oxygen sensors.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard.
