[FlameStang97]

Im not sure whats wrong, the car isnt making any funny noises or anything. The only problem is that it feels like ive lost a lot of power. Anybody have any ideas on what to check?

97 v6 5 speed.

do you drive hard all the time.smell the oil and see if it has any gas in it. i may be flooding.

I would check two things right off the bat. No. 1 is air filter make sure that is clean and not torn or blocked with debris. No. 2 would be carbon deposits etc.... with the fuel injection. When I bought my '98 used it had NO power. I would literally stomp on the pedal at 60 with only a mild increase in pitch but NO ACCELERATION!!!! I was told it was carbon deposits and Fords were notorious for them. I ran a couple of bottles of Chevron Fuel Injection cleaner and it cleared up in two weeks! Now I regularly use either the Chevron or Berryman's B-12.

Hope this helps.
