If your car is less than ten years old there are several things that are fairly easy to correct. First do you have an odor like rotten eggs? If you do the catalitic converter is probably clogged. If you know of a realiable muffler shop they can check this out fairly easily. Next I would check the air filter. Next the fuel filter. How long has it been since the spark plugs were changed? If you have 80 thousand miles or more the spark plugs are probably worn out. If none of this seems to be the problem you are going to need a good mechanic to help you figure it out. On todays cars you can spend a barrel load of money guessing.
If you have an older car all of the above still applies but the ignition timing should also be checked.

Does acceleration have a negative or positive value if the velocity is increasing speed?
In this case, acceleration is positive. Negative acceleration would cause the object to slow down (decelerate.)
How can you increase or decrease acceleration?
acceleration is a change in speed or direction, so to answer your ? you slow down, speed up or make a turn :]
When is the term negative acceleration used?
The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .
How does the direction of acceleration affect the directions of motion?
The acceleration will either speed up or slow down an object's motion in the direction it is applied. Any change in speed or direction is considered acceleration.
When you press your bicycle's brakeswhat happens to your speedvelocityand acceleration?
your seed,velocity,and acceleration will be slow When you brake, your acceleration increases (!), your velocity decreases (and in this case, there is no difference between velocity and speed). Negative acceleration increases when braking a moving bike.
Car slow acceleration?
It is good of a car has a slow acceleration rate. This means that the car will probably be great on gas.
What is decreaing acceleration?
It is deceleration which means to retard or slow down the acceleration.
What is positive negative and zero acceleration is?
positive acceleration is when things speed up; negative acceleration is when things slow down; and zero acceleration is when things do not speed up or slow down, this is called constant speed, or no change in velocity.
Why is it that when you slow down you accelerate?
Acceleration is any change in velocity. Slowing down is a negative acceleration.
What is the acceleration of a Chinook helicopter?
Acceleration of a Chinook is relatively slow. Load carrying, not speed, is it's forte.
Slow acceleration 1995 tercel?
The clutch may be slipping

What is another word for deceleration?
Technically, it is acceleration either way. If something is slowing down, the acceleration is negative. Slow down or Decrease velocity
When is the term negative acceleration used?
The term negative acceleration is used when something is slowing down from its motion. When pushing the brakes the car will negatively acceleration to slow down .
AC reduce's car performance?
only when it is on, it causes slow acceleration
What is causing slow acceleration on a 2000 Daewoo Leganza?
slow acceleration and loss of power is usually down to airflow meter not performing correctly,tests need to be carried out with scan tool if one available
