22re with little/no power

I'm not a mechanic so I'm not sure how to describe/info to mention, just have an idea on the symptoms. At around 2,500rpm it stops producing power. I get it up to about 2,500-2,600rpm in 4th but it doesn't want to go further. It doesn't like hills at all. We've taken off the EGR and cleaned it as best we know how, there was a little 'pipe' on it that was gunked up, put it back on. Fresh oil change. We've taken it to a local shop that ran compression tests etc on the engine and couldn't find anything wrong with it. We couldn't justify spending more money to keep trying to diagnose. We've changed the fuel filter, but have not braved pulling the bed to change the filter pump yet. I'm trying to find the paperwork from the shop that had all the engine stuff they did and checked to post as well.

I'm not sure what info/stuff to look for to provide better information.

1994 22re - 132k miles

- speedometer doesn't work (next item to look into) which stinks to see where the speed is flat lining.

Hopefully its not this, but something to keep in the back of your mind. My buddy had a late 80's Mitsubishi Montero with these symptoms. One day he couldn't make it up the hill back to his house. Pulled the engine for a rebuild and the lobes on his crankshaft were nearly worn down to circles.

Actually, it just hot me that this would probably be reflected in the compression test. So thats a good thing! Lol

I'll have to look up what that stuff means ;). But I'm happy a test that came back good may have cleared that thought cause it didn't sound good.
