Engine Performance problem
1992 Geo Metro Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
hi, im having problems with my car, when i drive it i can mash the gas peddle to the floor and it wont get but about up to 5 mph and VERY slowly!!!and when i come to a stop the engine sounds very weak like it ready to die,i dont know a thing about cars and dont have the money to take it to a machanic unless its very serious, so im wondering if its just something simple like spark plugs or something much more serious like the transmission.please help

thank you

Get the throttle position sensor/MAF/MAP sensors tested and have the exhaust system checked for restriction for a start. Tune-up parts tested good and fuel pressure -could be a transmission problem-
