Default loss of engine power.

my friend has a 90 accord lx. the engine is the same engine as it came out of the factory. all that it has is just an air filter.
well he said that his car feels like its lost power. it doesnt accelerate as quickly as it used to.

any1 know what can be causing it??

Well, with no detail regarding the engine such as mileage, compression test, etc., anything is possible.

The car is 18 years old, so normal wear and tear is probably the culprit. Otherwise, it could be lack of maintenance, etc....

A daunting task with what little you've given us, but here goes:
Fuel Filter
Catalytic Converter
Oxygen Sensor
General Tune-up
Dragging Brakes
Transmission issues
The porker sitting in the back seat
Driving uphill
Driving upwind

Are there any other symptoms? Skipping, Farting, Backfiring? Has anything else changed?
