The car has little or no acceleration. We replaced the fuel filter, spark plugs, hoses, air valves, sensors, distributor cap and rotor. The fuel pump seems to look good. Any suggestion?

Check your fuel pressure, sounds like your not getting the correct amount of fuel.

Timing may be off too, you can test compression to see if this is the case

The timing is fine so is the compression. The fuel pressure is fine. We replace the crank sensor and got a little better. Any more suggestion? Do you think it's the pcm unit? Please help!

Clean the mapp sensor out, the computer is all that is left besides the torque converter. Check the solenoid too. After that, the only thing left is the computer. After all is supplies the grounds for everything on the engine.
