Hi, when driving car feels like it's been held back by something (I.e) like some one is pressing the brakes ever so slightly, dash board has no warning lights on there's no funny smells engine runs fine and car runs great other than this problem which came about a few days ago,I've being looking online about this and it's pointing me in the direction of either the calipers/braking system or the drum brakes on the back.. Thanks

I would also suspect the brake system first. Raise the vehicle and leave in neutral. Try spinning the front wheels by hand. If it is fairly difficult to turn the I would suspect the calipers in the front. Check the same in the rear (drums or calipers).
