Car feeling slow??
I have had my 02 gt for about 2 months now and it suddenly feels real sluggish and slow when i get on it hard through 1st and 2nd gear. It also seems like i have zero torque. The car runs and idles smooth and i have yet to have any problems with it. I have probably just gotten used to the car and am freaking out for no reason. Has this happened to anyone else? Any suggestions?

Try buying gas from a credable station and try stick with the same brand. I bought gas from another spot (instead of the usual one) and my car did the same thing

I had my dad drive the car today and he said that i feels like it is missing at WOT. Bad sparkplug? Well i am going to check them tomorrow and also replace the air and fuel filter. It is still under warranty so i might just go ahead and let the dealer figure it out.

check your spark plugs and make sure none are backing out! the PI modulars are not good for holding spark plugs
a 4.6 expedition came to the dealer today cuz it blew a plug out and needed a new head
check the plugs and all... may just need a tuneup/love
try a fresh air filter too

I have a set of autolite plugs so I am going to replace the old ones just for the hell of it. I also bought a K&N filter to replace the dealer issued paper one. If that doesn't work the car goes in the shop. Thanks for all the suggestions. - Kevin
