Loss of power is a very general complaint and can have many causes. Here is a short list of possabilities Plugged fuel filter bad ignition wires, cap, rotor, spark plugs dead lambda system dirty injectors dirty air filter vacuum leaks bad ignition coil dragging brakes low compression in 1 or more cylinders problem in the mechanical or vacuum advance Generally when you have a problem like this if the car hasn't been tuned-up in a long time you start with that. In the course of doing the tune-up you generally come across the cause and fix it. I would start by inspecting the insides of the fuel tank and all the internal parts. The accumulater does not usually cause a loss of power but if you know it's bad change it so you can rule it out as possability. I do not like using injector cleaner, gasoline comes with cleaners built in.
