Hello.
We have a Mitsubishi Mirage. The only problem is that when you get in to warm up the car, it doesn't matter how long you let it warm up once you put the car in drive the acceleration is so slow. You can have the pedal half way or all the way down and it takes quite a few minutes to even get up to speed. When accelerating up a steep hill it will slow to almost a stop. Once the car gets going it will run fine but it is always a slow start once you come to a stop or just start off.

Is your car a carburettor type of fuel injected? May be it needs a good timing check and tune up.
Cheers.
