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.

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 orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initialy slow down?

If the velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions, the object will initially slow down. This occurs when the acceleration is in the direction opposite to the object's motion, creating a deceleration effect.


What is the acceleration of a Chinook helicopter?

Acceleration of a Chinook is relatively slow. Load carrying, not speed, is it's forte.


What orientation of velocity and acceleration will cause something to initially slow down?

When velocity and acceleration are opposite in direction (velocity forward and acceleration backward, or vice versa), the object will slow down initially. This is because the acceleration is acting in the opposite direction of the velocity, causing the object to decelerate.


Slow acceleration 1995 tercel?

The clutch may be slipping


What happens to your speed if you have a negative acceleration do you speed up or slow down?

If you have a negative acceleration, you are slowing down. Acceleration is the rate of change of speed, so a negative acceleration means a decrease in speed.


Acceleration will only speed up an object True or false?

False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.


AC reduce's car performance?

only when it is on, it causes slow acceleration


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
