When I go to take off from a stop light or after stopping my car takes forever to get up to speed. It also will not climb the smallest hill. I can go from doing 60mph down to 20mph.I have my foot stuffed into the gas pedal and it doesnt matter. My dad just changed the sensor in my distributor and after he changed that is when it all started.
