I have always been able to easily reach speeds of 130 mph+ in my car until recently. I noticed the my temperature gauge was going up and down erratically so I immediately took it in to my reapair shop. After advising me that it needed a new thermostat, they replaced it, flushed my radiator, and also changed my air filter as they said it was dirty. After picking up my car i noticed that when ever i tried to accelerate quickly it wouldnt pick up like it would just prior to me tkaing it in. Also when I was attempting acceleration I could hear a noise that sounded like when you suck something up in your vaccuum and its gets clogged. Have any idea whats going on?[img:eb068c8994]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/399373_IMG00027200906161055_1.jpg[/img:eb068c8994][img:eb068c8994]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/399373_IMG00027200906161055_1.jpg[/img:eb068c8994]

Have you checked the air filter they replaced to make sure it didn't come apart?
