SOURCE: 91 nissan Sentra losses power at highway speeds

remove the front 02sensor and drive the car like that, remove means complety take it apart from exaust, if problem goes away or gets so much better then your catalitic converter at the exaust is restricted and need a new one

This is usually the first (cheapest) place to start. The MAF (mass air flow) meter is designed to sense and adjust the vehicle engine to changes in air temperature, speed, density etc. to keep your vehicle running properly. Since you already had your EGR replaced (yet another possible source of this sort of problem) I would tend to lean more toward the MAF. If you run any sort of aftermarket intake such as a k&n etc. these can cause problems for certain vehicles that are very sensitive to air flow as Saabs tend to be. Also the oil used on filter elements such as k&n can ruin the sensitive MAF. This unit is generally easy to fix (it's the little box with wires running to it) mid way up your air intake tube just past the filter. They aren't too terribly expensive either. Try this and hopefully this gets you up and running.

SOURCE: Loss of power on acceleration. Put new fuel

Check the catalytic converter, I have the same problem, replaced fuel filter, and crank position sensor, didn't help although the fuel filter was dirty. The car has no power, engine knocks horribly when trying to accelerate up a hill/on ramp. Starts, idles good, lousy power off a stop (should sqawk tires before traction control kicks-in)

95 honda accord hard acceleration and bogging down at increased throttle changed fuel pump

Brother Dave, stuff wears out as you well know. But indications don't always point to the obvious. I know it sounds like fuel delivery problem, and new pump didn't fixit, so change the EGR valve. That's Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve. It's part of emissions control and only a couple of small bolts hold it onto the intake manifold with a small vacuum line running to it. A bad EGR will cause the slow pickup speed and won't pull a hill or even a short grade. I believe this EGR change will fix your situation completely. Good day my friend, and happy motoring.

Slow acceleration

Why would you expect any fluids to help ?

Have you changed the fuel & air filter,spark plugs,
cleaned the maf sensor,changed the two front O2
sensors & checked fuel pressure?

When that is done,check for codes,then vacuum
leaks

If it is over ten years old, the exhaust converter may
be blocked

Last check for cylinder misfires as those ignition
coils fail a lot & several at once

Don't over look the egr valve

Check engine light comes on. RPMs surge and sometimes engine dies when idling after engine is fully warmed up. Car hesitates at times. Car will jump or **** at times when driving at highway speeds when...

Mine was doing that also.. We changed the two EGR valves, changed spark plugs and wires, and finally cleaned the Mass Air flow Sensor with carburetor cleaner. That seemed to helped the most. You have to take the sensor off to do it.. you can find a youtube video that explains it. Now all I have to do is figure out why my car's RPM's surge when slowing down.

I have a 00 pontiac grand prix gt and I dont know why my car hesitates when I am accelerating. Also I can feel and hear my engine bogging down like it wants to shut off esp when I am stopped or driving...

egr will only affect running at idle or slow speeds.under acceleration it can indicate poor tune-up components or even a partially plugged fuel filter not allowing enough fuel,or even a weak pump.a bad tps(throttle position sensor) can also act the same way,usually it will set a code,but not always.if it has a(maf) mass air flow sensor on this system it can cause the poor acceleration,again usually, but not always, will set a code in the computer.
