Car feels like it has lost power

[elgrego]

I need advice. Got my clio at christmas, needed the coil packs replacing 2 days after i got it. Then it was fine for 2 weeks, then it started shaking like a shitting dog and lost power. Took it back left it with the garage for a day (turned out to be a dodgy spark plug). Good for 3 weeks, then coil packs play up again , which turned out they hadn't used gen renault coils, so they put in proper ones.

My prob now is that it doesn't feel as quick, like it has lost torque and i have to accelerate harder to get up speed. Any ideas cos it's pissing me right off.

most probably becuase you have got used to it now, so your bodys used to the accelleration etc

No it's not that cos i can tell with the rev counter and the effort i have to put in to pull away.

Are you sure that all spark plug are working ? Maybe one does not work and therefore power is lost. You need to do car diagnostic and then it is shown, how the spark plugs work.
