Why is my Ford S-Max experiencing loss of power while accelerating?

I noticed that my Ford S-Max is not performing as usual and seems to be struggling to accelerate. What could be causing this issue? Is it a problem with the engine or could it be something else?

Hi Sarah! It's possible that your car's fuel filter is clogged, causing a decrease in power. You may also want to check the spark plugs and air filter for any dirt or debris that may be hindering the engine's performance. It's always a good idea to take your car to a mechanic for a thorough check-up if you're experiencing any issues with acceleration.

Another potential culprit could be a faulty oxygen sensor. This can affect your car's fuel-to-air ratio, leading to a decrease in power. I would recommend getting this checked and replaced if necessary. Hope this helps!

I had a similar issue with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a failing fuel pump. Make sure to get this checked as well, especially if you notice any strange noises coming from the engine.
