Help! - Low-end torque loss?

I need help guys, my car accellerates from 0 like schitt. My baby just doesn't feel as powerful in the low RPMs as before. It feels more like the car is heavier and i need to apply more throttle to mae it go.

I've checked wheels/axles/brakes/suspension already and that's fine. Could it be injectors, throttle body? And this happens when all my mechanic friends are back at college way accross the country.

Where should i look? I don't want to be taken by a crooked mechanic that'll tell my my turbo is busted when i don't have any turbo in my car.

Thanks ahead of time!

Check your ECU for the 0304 knock sensor code.

Bad mileage too?

Mileage gotten worse too? When is the last time you changed the fuel filter?

Do all those things: fuel filter, spark plugs, injector system cleaning, check for Knock Sensor...also my suggestion: check for leaks around your intake system.
