Default noticed a lack of power ? lack of kick ?

This morning my car tends to have a lack of power , or lack of kick ..

It does seem to want to rev ? I have to really plant my foot for it to GO.

I normally enter my parking garage in 1st gear doing 20 -25 kmh and I'm at around 4000RPM but this morning, my rev's seemed to be 3500 ? I check for any blockages in the air and did not come up with anything ? My silencer is in, but that never affected it before ?

I have no CEL light, nuthin' like that.. It simply does accelerate right

Any thoughts on this gremlin..

thanks for any input
simon

Outstanding, my chanting has worked.
I stayed up all night and chanted about the Spas leading the Moose run...

Sorry buddy, no ideas...

When was the last time you ran a bottle of fuel injector cleaner through the system?

Before you hear it anywhere else, I'll say it first. GAS CAP. There it's been said. No one else need give you this less than valuable advice.

Sorry, no real ideas on the matter. Fuel issue would be my first thought. Pump pressure, injectors???

Let us know!

backordered... must be from the UK suppliers..

I may surprise you after the lunch break as well ??? Hmmm ?
