When VDC light is on, it means Vehicle Dynamic Control is engaged and it puts resistant on wheels to reduce slipping.
This is the reason to cause slow acceleration. If you have OBD reader, you may find out why VDC is on; otherwise, ask someone has experience on mechanic for consulting.
VDC issue needs to be resolved or you will consume more gas and wear the car faster.

SOURCE: When i make a complete stop the cart takes a while to accelerate?

Millions of cars have that issue

The Evap System, will most easily be diagnosed &
your Gross Leak resolved,if you have a repair shop
with an EVAP Smoke Machine put on that system

The Gas Cap would be a PO442 (small leak) The way you
remember is, from the Hurst Olds 442, from the 1960's

The smoke test will blow some out the place of the leak,
like a rotted hose or broken evap valve.


Slow Acceleration---you work on after all check light issues
are resolved such as the evap leak.

SOURCE: Temperature level spiking when accelerating

sounds like your thermostat may be stuck shut, blocking the flow of coolant through your engine block. it cools down again because of the cool air coming through the rad.

SOURCE: slow acceleration at times from stop starts and

After changing the Alternator Belt on Oct.10,2009, my car 2001 Nissan Sentra GXE frequently stopped at redlight signals but I was able to restart immediately.My mechanic raised the idle running rpm but after running for about 40 miles the problem persisted.Last week he changed the sensor but that hasn't helped.He says that the computer does not indicate the problem and is not able to pinpiont where the actual defect lies.Could you please help in solving this as I am moving out of the country and trying to sell the car.Thanks.

I have a question. I have a 2011 Nissan Rogue AWD. When you give it gas it'll go unless you get into the throttle then it will not accelerate. Sometime you can give it gas and it will only go up to about...

There are several possible reasons why your 2011 Nissan Rogue AWD may not be accelerating properly when you press the throttle. The fuel pump is one possible culprit, but there could also be other issues with the engine, transmission, or other components. Here are a few possible causes and things to check:
  1. Fuel pump: If the fuel pump is not providing enough fuel pressure to the engine, it can cause a lack of power and acceleration. You can have a mechanic test the fuel pressure to see if it's within the manufacturer's recommended range.
  2. Clogged fuel filter: A clogged fuel filter can also restrict fuel flow and cause acceleration issues. This is a relatively inexpensive part to replace and can be done by a mechanic.
  3. Throttle body: The throttle body is responsible for regulating the amount of air that enters the engine. If it's dirty or malfunctioning, it can cause acceleration problems. You can try cleaning the throttle body or have a mechanic inspect it.
  4. Transmission issues: Even if the speedometer and cruise control are working, there could be issues with the transmission that are causing the acceleration problems. The transmission speed sensor code could be related to this, and you may need to have a mechanic perform further diagnostics.
  5. Other engine issues: There could be a variety of other engine-related issues that are causing the acceleration problems, such as a clogged air filter, malfunctioning spark plugs, or a faulty oxygen sensor. A mechanic can perform a diagnostic scan to identify any other potential issues.
Overall, it's best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the issue to pinpoint the exact cause of the acceleration problems in your 2011 Nissan Rogue AWD.

I have a 2013 nissan versa with acceleration issues. I don't have a code that comes up. Just happened once so far after having to stop for gas. Happened when I got back on the road.

A dirty or clogged fuel filter is another reason for a car not accelerating like it's supposed to when required to do so. With a dirty fuel filter, the engine won't be getting enough fuel which means that the vehicle won't be giving the acceleration performance that it should.

There are many reasons why your vehicle may be losing power, especially when accelerating. Some of these common causes are: Mechanical problems such as: Low compression, clogged fuel filter, dirty air filter, clogged Exhaust Manifold. ... Malfunction of actuators such as: Bad injectors, bad fuel pump, bad spark plugs

Nissan maxima has check engine light on and is losing acceleration on the road.

If this is a deisel then it's probably some sensor malfunction. It could be one of the sensors in the exhaust system or a simple electrical fault - I have been told it can happen if even just one brake-light bulb is broken
