Default Slow acceleration???

For the past couple months i've noticed that my car accelerates un-naturally slow. I can't even ride around with the AC on because it slows me down so much more. What could cause this problem??

Hmm probably many things!
Here are a few simple quick checks...

Check your spark plugs for wear
Check your airfilter for dirt
Tire pressure
Have you been using the recomended fuel grade?

Tire pressure is alright and fuel grade is good. I'll check the filter and spark plugs though
