If your vehicle seems to be running fine but picks up speed slowly, check to see if you have a check engine light. Having that light can point you in the direction of the problem. Also check to see if you have a bad catalytic converter which can clog your exhaust causing back pressure to the engine and cause your vehicle to pick up speed slowly or feel like it has no power. I hope this helps. Have a great day.
Check your catalitic converter, excessive back pressure will make the vehicle feel like you are pressing the brakes while trying to floor it. Does the converter glow bright red? then there is a problem with the system, most likely a plugged converter, or muffler
you don`t say if its fuel injected or not if it is then it could be a fuel pump problem that is not supplying enough fuel volume for the requirments but has enough pressure.this needs to be checked out and compared to specs.the other thing it could be is possibly a converter plugging up and needs replacing.the exhaust back pressure will have to be checked.at idle it should be below 1lb pressure and at 2000 rpm it should be below 2lbs.
Does the winding noise speed nup and slow down with the movement of the car? Does the sound seem like an electrical whine or a mechanical whine? It could be your speedomiter cable.
no it is the power steering pump. the pump is worn so at low rpm or low speeds it is real tough to steer. but when the rpm is picked up the steering gets easier.
Also check belt tension but at high rpm speeds the belt would slip and squel real loud. so i would point the problem to the power steering pump.
If your check engine is not on, check for a vacuum leak by listening for hissing; check your pcv valve (replace it for 3 dollars if you don"t know how to check); check egr valve for clogging and proper function.
have you changed the fuel filter lately a plugged fuel filter will cause this concern
did the power loss start all of a sudden or did you start losing power over time ?
