Hello

My car seems to be "struggling" when I try and accelerate. It always does, but I notice this when I drive uphill also. It almost feels like the fuel is having trouble reaching the engine. I had a new fuel pump put in last month.

The check engine light is NOT on, and I recently put in a new air filter and fuel injector cleaner. I also had my catalytic converter replaced by the dealer in 2007.

Any advice?

Thank You

If your transmission is not slipping-do below:

Inspect and test all the following listed below and get back with some results

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.

Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
