Loss of power after tune-up?
I gave my car a tune-up this weekend. Changed the fuel filter, a couple fuel lines due to leakage, the air filter, Plug wires, NGK pre gapped plugs and changed the oil. I did all that on saturday. While driving it around the past couple of days, it doesnt seem to have as much get up and go as it did. It seems bit bogged down. Now i did notice that there was a tear in the intake boot that i may have made larger when i was taking it off to change the filter, which i know would cause a vaccum leak and los of power. But could thee be any other reason that i would have poor performance after a tune up?

Put a big piece of tape on the intake crack and see if it still bogs down. I doubt it will. Intake leaks make for sluggish cars.
