My 2000 sunfire will start and idle but loses power when I try to drive it. Can't get the car past 40km/h

Check fuel pump pressure, check for vacuum leaks, if the check engine light is on, have the computer scanned for trouble codes. Most parts stores will scan it for free. As far as the fuel pressure, go to our homepage under the DIY section. There is a video and directions.
