Default Cars feeling sluggish... anything I can do?

I have 45K on my car and the car is feeling sluggish lately, and not because of the weather. Any maintenance I can do to get some power back? Thanks, Ryan

oil change and drive a geo metro around for a month. then when you get back in your car you won't believe how fast your car really is.

Advance ignition timing.
Do valve lash adjustment and set to the tight side.
Check tire pressure and raise to high end of range.

If all suggestions fail, check out compression and O2 sensor.

I know you said not because of the weather, but I did notice mine felt slower when it was in the upper 90's here.

My R also felt like it wasnt quite as sharp as it usually is when the temp went up around here.
