Trying to help a friend figure out why sometimes on acceleration from lower rpm, it’s very sluggish. I only just drove it home today and only really noticed it when going uphill from a stop, under harder acceleration it didn’t really have any guts down low. Once it got close to 3k rpm it started to pick up. Definitely not your typical Redblock slow, my ‘90 has much more noticeable pick up on the same hill in the same manner. I rehabbed the fuel system a few weeks ago, IPD intank upgrade pump, new Bosch main, filter and line up to the rail. He’s done the plugs, wires, cap and rotor very recently. Any suggestions?

Has it happened abruptly, or steadily gotten worse? Might be something fuel system related, like dirty AMM, or if it has a CEL?
