Why is my maxima so slow!

It's got a p0400 code which is an egr problem. I switch the egr a while back. Gotta clean the lines out now n see if that's the problem. But my main concern is why is my 2000 se doing 0 to 60 in over 10 seconds!?

Yep, KS or MAF is most likely.

thank you, much better answer. i changed the spark plugs already and cleaned the maf. but if its already damaged it would still give me problems. now im not sure what symptoms of a bad ks are but when i'm cruising at highway speeds and step on the gas to accelerate the rpms shoot up but the car doesn't go any faster.

Tranny is slipping. Time for a new one.
