The obvious ones in order of most probable:

clogged air filter
very low tire pressure
clogged fuel filter
bad accelerator cable

There's plenty of others but that would assume larger malfunctions.

Wackjum...

Yesterday when I was working on my left foglight, I took out alot of my air intake so I could work on the foglight better, so thats not it.

I when I have my oil changed, my mechanic checks my tire pressure and fills the tires if they need to be filled.

Ill have the fuel thing checked out, and Ill look at that cable..


My mechanic said I need a new pcv valve, an auto parts store is ordering it for me, but I dont think it should make THAT much of a difference, should it?

Also with the recent heat and it being summer, are you blasting the AC? I remember once a few years ago, my bro was wondering why the car ran so slowly in 110oF weather and I just pushed the AC button and she launched! Hehe, had to be there to see his reaction!
