no power

I have a 95 F-150, about 80,000 miles on it now. Problem is that sometimes when you step on the gas it sounds like it should really be going somewhere but the power just doesn't make it there. It doesn't die or slow down real fast, but it really doesn't accelerate when that's happening. Had it into the dealership a few times and they haven't found anything. I suggested the cat. converter but they said it's fine. Any ideas?

Thanks

If you don't have a turbo boost gauge, I would check for leaks in the intake plumbing, between the turbo and the engine. If you have a leak, you will be unable to develop boost, and you will essentially be driving the 10 year old non turbo design which made a whole lot less power than the current engines should.

Good luck and keep us posted.
