My 4 cylinder '94 Ford Tempo has no power at

No power at acceleration. Dropped cat temporarily and no improvement. Recently have replaced battery and positive cable, coil, command control module, had a tune up, fuel filter replaced, tested for fuel pressure, and replaced magnetic relay in the carb. Will cruise once I hit 40, but getting there can take a LONG time. Sometimes power drops to next to nothing and we putt at about 3 miles per hour. Help? Thanks

How much does it cost to install a wheel cylinder on a 94 Ford Tempo?

Well the cost is location relevant, but there is more to be aware of.
First, brakes need to be done in axle sets, both front or both rear...
Usually there is other damage with wheel cylinder issues, like leaking. Brakes are done when soaked with brake fluid..and need to be replaced.
Also, springs need attention, as overheating happens on OTHER brakes with wheel cylinder issues...
Brake drums need to be resurfaced....
So all of these things take between 2 to 4 hours plus all of the needed parts. The wheel cylinders are not very costly, themselves, but the job and labor sometimes is..
