Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have replaced plugs and have been told it is a burned valve. Could it be anything else?
Is the Check Engine Light on? A burned valve won't cause an acceleration problem as much as it will run rough all of the time and perhaps misfire or even backfire. Only a compression test will tell. There are a lot of things that can cause your symptoms but a plugged catalytic converter, Dirty MAF sensor, stuck open EGR valve, failing fuel pump - there's a whole list of things that can cause the problem.
