I just purchased a 95 Chrysler LHS. Car has about 150k miles on it...Well the problem is, when taking off from a stand still, if I give the car more than a little bit of gas it becomes sluggish and goes really slow. If I just barely press the gas, it drives fine but acceleration is slow due to the little bit of gas I am giving the car. I floor the car, tranny downshifts, but the car is very sluggish in acceleration..Also, starting the car is becoming a pain. It cranks but takes forever to crank over...Whats going on here? I was told fuel pump or fuel related. Is that what my problem is?

Maybe. It could also be ignition related, but it's really hard to describe that kind of thing in USENET posts. Ignition wires are a very common problem that requires driving with a very light pedal. The best way to check the condition of ignition wires is to watch your car engine run on a dark night. The best way to check your fuel delivery is with a pressure gauge. A lot of folks would rather type away on their computers rather than troubleshoot, but it's really okay to actually test something. You can buy the gage for about $30 or Autozone will loan you one for free. Dark nights are free, too.
Ok, I did the turn the ignition on 3 times diagnostic test and heres the results...Flashed codes 12 and 14...Can someone tell me what these codes are and what I need to do to fix the problems???
12: Start of codes 14: MAP sensor voltage out of range (below 0.16v or over 4.96v) You should've got a 55 (end of codes) as well.
Most likely culprit of the 14 is the MAP sensor itself. Second most likely is MAP sensor wiring.
