I) when I was driving along and noticed that there was no pick up of power at all at the intermiate. The maximum speed is about 100km/h, and it took an age to accelerate, maximum rpm do not more than 2500rpm. I dropped it from d to 3, and the revolutions per minute(rpm) increased, but the power output didn't. Ii) I stopped, put it in neutral and floored the accelerator, and the engine revolutions per minute have no issue to increase more than 3000rpm. Iii) I turned the car off and back on again, and it appeared to be ok, just a bit less power that I am used to.
