acceleration issue
I have a 86 bronco 302efi, runs pretty good around town, and highway as long as i don't give it too much gas....if i say try to pass some one it will start to bogg out and if at a dead stop i try to punch it same thing.....newer pumps / filter (gas and air), fuel pressure is good, what could it be? what should i check? please help

I had a problem like that, but a little worse. I could drive, but had to be very easy on the pedal or it would do what you describe. It turned out I had a voltage drop on to my fuel pumps. (2 new pumps, replay, all that) I found this out buy hooking up my scan tool. Ran great with it hooked up. There is a lead on the connector that toggles the fuel pump I umpired 12v from of the other leads and runs great. I still have not been able to find the problem, but this may help you temporally. This site has a good pic of the connetor.
