Tl problem

I have a 01 acura tl, on my way back form work today I pushed the gas down like 3/4 of the way and got going pretty fast. When I slowed back down and was just crusing I could kinda feel the car slowing down a little so I pushed down the gas more and nothing happened, I could kinda feel it shaking a little. I ended up having to pump the gas the whole way back to my house. This happened like a month ago and I found out it took premium fule, hasent happened at all until now.

Do you have a check engine light on?

If you've been running less than 91 octane for any substantial period of time then you'll need to clean your EGR ports and passages.

If your check engine light is on, the code will help 10x more than anything we could guess here. If you don't have a code reader to go O'Reilly or another auto parts shop that will read your codes for free, or jump pins 4 & 9 on the OBDII port and turn ignition on and count the blinks.
