Subject:Still Sluggish Update

The van has been at the shop where a mechanic has gone over just about
everything and can only come up with that it might be a bad temp
sensor....this has been ordered. He says the engine is in great shape,
we replaced the accelerator cable, the FI system looks all good, the
intake and outake look good. I needed the van for the weekend so I
think he must have tried the muffler idea because it sounds like it is
disconnected now. The cat is good. The mechanic is stumped...we are
going to try a different ignition coil because that is the only thing I
have replaced since the van started to be so sluggish. The ignition
coil wire had fused to the connector in the top of the ignition coil,
but I replaced it with an aftermarket one from NAPA and the dealer
cable so I don't know why that would be the culprit. It must be
something stupid but what???? It really does seem like something is
inhibiting the flow...He says the timing and timing advance is all good
too. Could it be something electrical?
Thanks Again for any advice,
Rick
