I have been noticing a drop in acceleration in my 850 Turbo 5 cyl. (1995). Yesterday when driving it after getting some work done on the timing belt, water pump, serpentine belt and seals I placed the acceleration down to pass a car. The car became very sluggish and the revs would go up and back down while not having the same burst of energy as before. I initially thought of bad gas, but I have not had bad gas from the station I use before. Then started thinking of fuel filter, but now am wonder if the problem could be transmission related. I do not want to spend any more money on the car as I am needing to get rid of it at its age. If it is a fuel filter or even a fuel pump, then I probably will fix it. What do you think?

If you notice the problem right after the work being done then you should take it back and have them recheck there work.
