My Car is loosing power

I know our car is not a torq monster but my car is loosing power..

at first i noticed the loss between 2000 and 3000rpm, the car takes so much time to move there, and it feels like i clutch in some times (clutch slipping?).

now its worst.. when reaching 5000rpm the car dont revs as fast as it was going.. it slows down.. this in gears 3 and 4, cant test 5th lease:


The car was not like that, this came with the transition from cold weather to a very hot one..

I don't know, that's a tuff call with out actually seeing the car, btu check all you fluids. See if any are diclored or anything. If you can take off,say around 2000 RPM in 1st and feel a pull, than it's probably not the clutch, but like I said, hard to tell. Give us some more details, maybe we'll come up with something.

Try some maintenance stuff. New air filter, plugs, and tranny fluid change. You could always get the hyper voltage system. It gave me back some torque.

You should be able to do most of that stuff yourself. Try techron fuel system cleaner, check plugs, and check air filter. VERY easy. Upgrade your factory ground wires, too. Couldn't hurt.

^lack of power can be related to a vacuum line problem. There could be a leak causing the lack of power since your engine is basically sufficating. I would check that first, i have expereinced it first hand in a BMW.....
remember if problem persists stall can occur.
