I dont know if it's me but my engine seem to be getting weaker or something... it doesn't have the usual speed or pull it use to have. Any known problem that would cause this? My car is idling fine at 1k but it just lack any power when trying to put up speed.

lack of compression? might be something less serious but its probably just getting old, how many km on it?

Do a standard tune-up (plugs, wires, oil change) and see if it improves. Also, take off the negative battery terminal while doing all of that so you can reset your ECU.
