My car was idle for close to a year and i replaced oil and the filter as well as the plugs and petrol filter. I drove the car a bit and it felt sluggish. After 22kms the car started to lose power and eventually i had to stop. i turned the car on and it idled well but as soon as i put my foot to the accelarator, the car would act up idling lower and the car would drag...
