I sent my car in to get several leaks fixed and the a/c working. Now when i get my car back, i am slower than my friends toyota 4runner(very old, 234,000 miles!!!!!)

That was humiliating!! I can definetly feel power lose. The car takes for ever to reach 60 from a full stop, and is picks up speed very slowly.

I take teh car back again, and tell them, so they took a look, and they were stumped for several hours, they checked nearly every inch of teh car, and still have no idea!!

Anyone got any suggestions, or things i can check for(i dont know anything about cars, so if anyone has any idea, please use details

Thx alot!

Dumb question..but..Are you running the car with the A/C on now? And did they have to take off the distributor to fix any leaks? They could have retarded the timing some..
