more info is needed. maintance-how old are your plugs, wires, coils? clean maf, ess, and air filter. a seafoam never hurts either

was the engine replaced? did you get it from a dealer? maintance is important on these cars. where are you located? the things that i listed are common problems that cause poor permormance also check the cat. do you have any mods?

contact them and confirm that ingition parts are new, its usually done when getting a new motor. i would clean the sensors that i mentioned, it should only cost you some time and a small amount of $ if you dont have the chemicals

boateye77

ok what chemicals do you use and where do you buy them

if you bought it only a month ago have the dealer you purchased it from take a look at it. Most dealers will at least give you an inspection for free and you might get lucky and get some work free too.

I would suggest at least trying with the dealer first before doing any work yourself.

i called the dealer and they are going to have it checked so hopefully itll be on them thanks for all the info

Hopefully it is something stupid like a dead cat or something. Also...for future reference find out why everything was replaced en mass like that. It might be usefull info down the road.
