Default loss of power when accelerating

hey guys, back to my many Q's.

I noticed today that I was having a problem accelerating. It seems fine and all, but if I punch it, it really accelerates slow. My car has been known to accelerate fast, maybe the torque converter, but i noticed it was really laggin bad today, what do you guys think I should check out? My car is in my sig. Thanks

My cars fan is supposed to blow after the car turns off for a few minutes right? I just noticed that today to.

-Jon

sounds ignition related. What parts have you replaced/spraypainted yellow recently?

Radiator Fan is normal.

for 4th gens, its normal for the fan to still be on after you turn off the car. for 5th gens, its not.

have you drove it again since? it could have just been a fluke.
did you get some bad gas, maybe?

oh, and my 5th gen fan always comes on after shutting down.
