Check and or replace your throttle position sensor (tps) and check and or replace your air intake sensor(ait) and also look at your throttle cable and see if there is any slack to be tightened up

Fuel filter is probably clogged.
Hessitation, Heavy feeling, lack of power, Rough idle, Stalling.

Check IAC for proper function.

My symtom's were.
Loss of power, Heavy feeling, Bad hessitation. Have to accelerate alot more to get up to speed. High fuel usage.

I tried alot of thing's to try fix the problem, Nothing helped.

I had only changed my filter 3 months ago so i thought it would be OK.

I pulled it off, And it was litterly full of dirt..Could not believe it. The amount of dirt was unreal.
Could have made a veggie garden out of the amount!
Someone must have filled a servo nozzle with dirt thrugh the night. Then i used it.

I had none of the usual clogged filter symtom's (stalling, Missing under high Rpm ect)
I replaced it, And could not believe the diffrence!.

I will now keep a close eye on my filter's (more than ususal)

When you pull you're old filter off, Tap in Input on you're hand and see if anything fall's out.
After you change it, It's a good idea to run a good quality injector cleaner thrugh.
