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?

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!

Is there another solenoid besides the starter solenoid? If so where is it located? Also where is the mapp sensor located? Torque converter is fine.
