I have a 2000 cavalier z24 std and im having problems when I try to accelerate In first gear, it starts real slow and once its going at a good speed its fine but when I try to accelerate full throttle it accelerates but not at full speed like it should be... what could be wrong??
Does it make any noise? Does your rpms rise but speed doesn't? More details please

no there's no noise at all just normal sound and the rpm goes up together with the speed..... even if I try to do a burn out instead to going out at full speed it starts real slow....

every other gear, it accelerates normal? There's not much info to go on but if that's the case, it may be the clutch. when you say you try doing a burn out, do the tires spin? does the rpm go up and speed doesn't?

Sounds like you should look into your clutch, it sounds like it's slipping

Imo that points to the clutch slipping as said above.I want ask the mileage but figure with the age it is over a 100k and clutch wear depends on a variety of things,driver use,conditions etc.Tired I am done.IF you have this done do a full clutch kit,resurface flywheel,replace slave cylinder and suggest doing the rear main seal at the same time.
Every time I try to do a burn out no the tires don't spin....
Thanks I will try to change the clutch will keep u guys updated. ......

yeah just make sure you change everything, disc, slave, pressure, main seal.. Idk what motor you have but there's a good spec flywheel on the classifieds for a 2.4
