Buick Regal feeling sluggish and lacking power when accelerating is a symptom of insufficient engine power. The reasons for insufficient car power are as follows: 1. Carbon buildup issues: Carbon buildup includes cylinder carbon buildup, throttle carbon buildup, spark plug carbon buildup, and intake carbon buildup. When there is excessive carbon buildup inside the engine, the car's ignition energy decreases, intake efficiency drops, leading to reduced engine power and symptoms like sluggish acceleration and muffled sounds. 2. Fuel system: Adding incompatible fuel grades can cause a decrease in the car's output power and reduced performance; or due to a blocked fuel tank vent, clogged fuel tank switch, fuel filter, or fuel lines between the fuel tank and carburetor, the required fuel supply cannot be met, resulting in a lean air-fuel mixture and weak engine acceleration. 3. Intake: Long-term use of the air filter without timely cleaning can cause blockage, and insufficient air volume will lead to an overly rich air-fuel mixture, reducing engine power. 4. Engine overheating: Insufficient engine oil, insufficient engine coolant, or faulty engine cooling system can increase the engine's load, leading to poor engine cooling. Engine overheating can result in poor lubrication, increased mechanical wear, reduced engine power, and weak engine acceleration.
