slow acceleration

**degenerate** · 07-18-2006, 08:54 PM

Today when driving my car I felt like it was having a hard time accelerating. I felt like their was more vibrations coming through the peddles and what seemed like in my seat than normal. The rpms seemed to struggle to go up rather than the usual steady climb. Any suggestions on where to begin looking into this?

How many miles on your car? May need a basic tune up. My car felt a little rough when I bought it and I added fuel system cleaner which didnt help. I tried again with the more expensive slick 50 kind and I sware its smoother. My car had 25000 on it when i bought it.

slow acceleration? You just need more power lol jk Vibrations... I would check out all your tires, maybe even bent a rim or something, alignment, tons of things could go wrong in the suspension. Might even be a tranny thing.

That most likely is part of the problem. With every new thing I do, I never feel like I'm going fast enough still.

But the vibration feels like its coming from the chassis/suspension. I'm still driving the car around and testing it here and there to try to figure it out. I've had a few good accelerations, but I'm thinking when it is poor acceleration, its a lack of traction. The power just isn't getting to the ground it feels like in those instances.
