Yeah it can. It's a good idea to run a can of fuel injector cleaner through you gas tank at each oil change. It can be purchased at most targets, walmarts and so on or at any auto parts store for about $4.00. There are other things that can cause you to lose power though. A dirty fuel filter, air filter or a clogged catalytic converter can also cause problems. How long has it been since you had a tune up? If you car has 100, 000 miles or more it probably needs one. I'd try the injector cleaner first and a fuel filter second. Good luck.
