What's wrong with my car?

I have a 94 toyota corolla, with 195,000 miles on it. I just got the oil changed today and the spark plugs and now im having hard time accelerating. It takes for ever to get to the 45 mph and once it does it drops back down to 35mph and will stay there not matter how hard i push the gas.



*I have noticed the gas and brake pedal seems harder to push.

*I have took the car to get checked and they told me the transmission is going bad (but is that the problem)

*My car died while i was driving a few weeks ago, and they said it was the Distributor so i replaced the distributoror, the cap, and spark wires.

*earlier this wk the check engine light came on, so i took the fuse out(and put it back in) because i was told that resets the system and the light hasn't come on again ( could this have something to do with it?)What's wrong with my car?
sounds like your tranny is slipping and your fuel injector is gunked up. also if it is an automatic with electric overdrive and revs at high RPM's especially on the highway, it is a sign that your computer is shot. the electric overdrive is what gets the car to go from 3rd gear to the other gears its supposed to when you obtain higher speeds over 30 mph.What's wrong with my car?
dont you just hate non answers from idiots , like get a new car that sort of thing ? you sond like you have miltiple problems , has a garage realy looked at it for a start or a reliable frend ,that would be good, oil changing would have no consiquence on any of your problems by the way, you say you have changed the distributer and this sounds like the problem with the loss of power if you have fitted it your self and not set it right , we could talk about specialist equipment all day but i doubt it would mean much and doubt you have it ,slaken the bolts off tourn it a touch iether way providing the engine doesnt stop tightn the bolts and take for a little drive and try to keep out of the way of people if youv not much power see if you get any more power, the ideal manual may would be do it while its running , but be aware that touching the ht leads (high tention ) leads can be fatal if the engines running ,, turn anticlockwise then slowly turn clockwise until the engine speeds up a little when the engine starts to slow turn back a touch then tighteen the boldt back up this would be a realy good starting point and near as dam it, this is presiming the plug leads ar on the right way, heave throttle ? no idea without looking heavy brakes ? maybe the servo pipe is trapped under somthing when a mechanic has looked at it this could cause heavy breaks ,try jakking a wheel up at a time and see if the brakes are binding hope this helps , your toyota should be good for 300000 if looked after
If it started immediately after getting the oil changed, I would suspect that they used the e-brake and either it is still on or you have a stuck cable. This could cause the brake pedal to be harder to push, but probably only after you've driven the car a bit. With both pedals being harder to push, I'd kind of suspect something might be binding behind them like the floor mat, carpet or insulation.

Check to make sure (when the engine is cool) that all of the spark plug wires are on tight. Also check to make sure that all of your vacuum hoses are in good shape (this could cause your poor acceleration *and* your brakes to lose their power boost). Check your distributor to make sure that it isn't loose.

If the check engine light comes on again, don't reset the computer, have the fault code read someplace. AutoZone will check them for free, but don't take their word 100% for what the codes mean. They can clear them again without resetting your computer (that's a good thing).

did your mechanic installed bosch sparkplugs ?

if so, remove it and install ';denso'; sparkplugs.

japanese cars need japanese sparkplugs.

what is your car engine ? engine type / model ? 4A-FE or 5A- OR 7A?

did you experience hard acceleration before tune-up or after the tune up work?

if after, wrong tune-up procedure or parts.

if before, check transmission oil level for automatic trans.

for manual, could be clutch problem.



check also engine ignition timing, use timing light for this to correct,

check/replace dirtyor clogged air filter element

check for any dragging brakes.

check /replace fuel filter

check/ throttle settings.



check if mechanic working on your car is qualified !
your problem is you have a 94 corolla with 195000 miles on it hahaha i think its time to let it go and upgrade to a new car. any money you have to put into this car will be worth more than the car itself
