Gulp! My car suddenly feels 5000 pounds heavier!! :(
Hey guys,
So my car now feels like REALLY heavy. Like I'm dragging something. I didn't do anything. Its not as fast as it should be you know, like I apply gas and it doesn't really want to go to 0 to 40 or to 60 as it used be. Pick up suddenly dropped. What could have happened ??
Pls help!
(Ok! maybe I may have raced this moron who was driving like 5mph in front of me on a 35 lane to overtake him this afternoon, but he was holding the whole lane up. but besides that, I didn't do anything else. I swear.)
I changed my motor oil like only 3 weeks ago.

My timing belt is brand new. Replaced Timing belts and motor belts.
My trans was checked and serviced by toyota dealership service and is in mint condition. Upshifts fine.
My car does 60 and 80 and all just fine,... the only difference is the 0 to 40 or 0 to 60 speed and my pickup, not that I race my car,.. I take such good care of my car. Nobody touches my car besides Toyota and me.
Just wish what was wrong you know, with the economy as it is, my economy isn't doing well either.
*sob.

When was timing belt replacement done? did you check crank position sensor?
Trans fluid level been looked at?
Sigh! My car has 158K on it. OEM belts replaced by Toyota at 153K.
Trans fluid level checked. Ok. Replaced at 155K. Still muddy red in color.
Crank pos sensor checked OK.
Yeah! My tire pressure was real bad. plus I have poor struts, so it makes some sense. I hope its this.

How is that vulgar? Is it supposed to be a joke? Any way, yeah it definately sounds like something with the trans. You should go have it checked out. But what confuses me is that it shifts just fine.

Have you checked the usual stuff, like the plugs and all.
My car had a similar problem when accelerating due to dirty plugs.
It was very sluggish from 0-65 until I replaced them.
