off the line power has faded a little

They last couple days I've noticed the car will not spin the tires off the line.
It will chirp the tires then feel lazy and stuttering ever so slightly at low rpm's.
when it reaches higher rpm's powers still there riping.
Also have noticed the engine shakes a little more than before on atleast the start up.
Any idea.
I have no cel ,

The throttle cable had like 1/4" inch of extra slack in it.
That fixed the throttle response and it feels like it pulls a little harder.
Still seams like there's lost power off the line.
Going to do a oil/plug change clean the air filter first, then look into fuel delivery and coils I guess.

Anyone other culprits I should look at ?

motor mounts, cause if they are not fully controlling the engine movement, it will feel slower off the line, since it will first have to load those mounts before the actual car will go

i would also say check the MAF sensor, but we don't have one though, so never mind lol
then also when was the last time the fluid was changed in the tranny??? that can also cause some things too


then another big thing is remember it has been warmer ambient temps, so the motor gets more heatsoak when just sitting there, which will also lose some power too (but once the car is moving and such, everything starts cooling off a little under the hood, so you gain back some of the lost power)

Could be motor mounts. Could be tranny. Also it could be the warmer weather letting the tires grip more.
