What can cause slow acceleration? |
[Edit] |
Answer
I would check for a plugged fuel filter or plugged exhuast system.
Answer
As mentioned, plugged converter. Also there can be a transmission related problem, a drag possibly coming from a wheel (such as e-brake on or stuck, calipers not releasing. Too much fuel or too little fuel getting to the combustion chambers which can be a mechanical kind of problem like a fuel leak. worn plugs or a engine management control problem like an oxygen sensor or a throttle position sensor. Check the accelerator cable to see if it is excessively stretched and not allowing the engine to achieve maximum acceleration.
Also could be a fuel pump which is beginning to go. Thus the fuel is not regulated properly and affecting the usual acceleration. Lack of maintenance such as spark plugs, plugged filters, carbon build up.
Answer
Injectors. Get injector flush and change fuel filter.
