1992 f150 302 sluggish acceleration problem
first off I own a 92 f150 5.0 302 5-speed std 4x4. one night I got stupid and went mudding with a couple buddys, and got stuck so I was driving her pretty hard. ever since that night my truck seems to have lost a lot of its bottom end performance. in neutral the truck will rev high right away, but in gear it takes a while for the rpms to rise.
here's a list of what I've checked already: -plugs/wire, rotor are a year old
-checked timing
-changed fuel filter
-checked compression
not sure what else to check, any ideas?

thanks for the quick reply, i have been wondering if that could be the issue, but i don't want to cut it off and find out because i don't have a welder or anything. i took the o2 sensor out (thinking it would allow trapped exhaust gases to excape, but it was worse). is there an easy way to check it without removing it?

i have checked the air filter/intake and cleaned the throttle body, i have also changed the o2 sensor and checked fuel pressure. i never really thought about the brakes being caked with mud but i've been driving it for a couple months like this already. i will lift the truck off the ground and see if there is much resistance felt later, in the mean time anymore ideas guys? we'll get it figured out yet!

I would definitely perform a compression test. Also, one year old plugs, wires, cap and rotor should be replaced. If you installed budget grade parts store components, they might be due for a change. I recommend brass contact cap & rotor, low ohm plug wires and copper core Motorcraft plugs. It wouldn't hurt to replace a factory coil.
