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.

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.

standard tuneup was performed during summer like 3-4months ago? actually.... maybe i should change the airfilter for my car.... okay, I'll do that to see if that helps... even though it doesn't seem like it's dirty ...
