Or something in that neighborhood? I wish I could explain it better other than it’s like someone holding my car back or something, bogging through rpm/mph.. It would take forever to get the car up past 40mph. It's hard to pull out cuz you don't know if your going to get in front of the car and lagg going hella slow. Wtf ?
Any one know of any suggestions or answers?

Thanks,

Are you sure that it is running on all cylinders? Sounds like what happens when you loose a cylinder due to lack of fuel or lack or spark

Is the check engine light comming on? Does it work?

If the motor was sufficently fuel starved, I would think that it would run like real shit, bucking and stuff, not just crawling through the rpms..

Let us know some more details, personally, I had an ecu go bad and produced some weird ass fricking symptoms that took about 3 months to track down..
