Can anyone help

I have a t350c, it idles ok, but on acceleration it hold back.
If i open the throttle up you can hear the engine pinking.
Lambda's are new, new fuel filter plugs ect...

its as if some one is twisting the fuel link and starving the car.

Any thought ?

Thanks

Over advanced timing, lean fuel under acceleration.

Are you using Shell Optimax (or whatever it's called these days) or equivalent? Many years ago in the days when I used 95 RON fuel I discovered my Tamora pinked under hard acceleration. Since then I've used RON 98 (or 97 with BP Ultimate) and there is no pinking.

Disconnected the tps and she runs better on throttle so seems its duff or out of adjustment
