takes off ok but then like boggs down and will not acelerate right. tops off about 50 mph. I can push gas pedal to floor and nothing, dont even hear engine rev up with gas pedal floored. In park engine revs up fine. Replaced fuel pump 6 months ago. Replaced fuel filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, changed out transmission fluid and filter, and put in the $20 can of gas treatment from dealership in gas. I did all that in the last week. Still not much inprovment. Any help would be great. Thanks
