there is not enough information what is the meter you refer to is it rev counter or economy gauge i assume it is a petrol engine has fuel filter been replaced are there any fault codes logged does engine have a misfire rough running lack of power could be a blocked cat you should get diagnostic check done in first instance

It doesn’t accelerate when pressing the pedal. The only thing that I here when I get out from the car I here wierd noises at the back of the wheels . Do I need to put a liquid gas cleaner inside my tank? !!!!!!!!!! Do I need to change something else??? spark plug !!

!!it does not sputter or misfire but there is delay in taking the pick up when gas paddle is pushed a little hard. The car dies down and then starts taking motion/pick. There does not seem to b problem with transmission.
