Check the ignition wires and plugs, nothing like a non-firing cylinder or two to make the car slug along. Same with vacuum lines. With all the electronics and pooter control, finding problems can be a task.

[B]Hello,

I have a very big question for all of you.....
My Engine seems not to start going as fast while in drive and foot is off the gas pedal. It used to automatically go a bit when it was put in drive but now it does not.
It almost seems as if my car is very heavy (although I currently have the back seats out so it is not) when I am accelerating also.

GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS..........What do you think Jason?

Hmm...maybe be telling him not to drive his LS that way?

We do have nut cases in So Cal....everytime I come back into the area after a trip, I know I'm home when a driver cuts me off or tail gates me.
