    Sluggish

    Should I Be Able To Light My Tire Up From A Dead Stop? Cause All My Car Will Do Is A Small Squeal. And When I Floor It The Car Acts Like It Dont Want To Really Shit And Get Any More. Any Thoughts?

    any codes, how's your tranny fluid? maybe clean your mass air, if you have an oiled filter ie:k&n... just spray it with some brake cleaner.

    i doubt it but is your traction control on??

    pretty new tires, i dont have a traction control. i cleaned the throttle body but thats all when i put the petal to the floor like the car wants to hesatate. it ran fine when i got it 2 weeks ago but now is like a v6, and had had the tranny fluid changed.

    make sure your alternator is good and charging the battery...i just had to change mine and it fixed it..it may be going bad on you..ide take it to get it checked..sounds to me like a firing problem

    sounds alot like traction control.....but since your NOT stating that the pedal is kicking back...couldnt be that...

    Sounds just like my car with the traction control on. I would check all of the usual shit(fuel pressure, tranny juice, etc.).
