6. Lack of acceleration

If your vehicle is accelerating poorly it is fairly easy to tell. It feels as if the vehicle doesn’t want to respond when you put your foot down, or it does but not instantly as you’ve become accustomed to. It can also feel as if your vehicle is trying really hard to pull itself along. This ‘sluggishness’ can be easily fixed by having the vehicle serviced with a spark plug change.

This is the main symptom of my car

The way you describe you problem on your first post is different from this statement. Sluggish is far different from clutch slide meaning your revving but the car wouldn't just run. With sluggish it feels like the car is having a choke or a lag in throttle response.
Have it check and cross your fingers that its a spark plug cuz thats easy cheap fix. The former you need about close to 2 grand.
