G35 2004 Acceleration loss

My G35 lossed some speed when accelerating. I changed the oil and got somewhat faster but something is still pulling at back. So changed the spark plugs not the wires. No difference. Idk if i got better at driving or forgetting a major tuning part. Feels like i have to force my car go faster. Adviceplz

Check your throttle body. Open the butterfly with the battery removed. If its dirty, clean it and you should get a bit of your speed back.

Remember, remove the battery. If you don't, you'll have to do the ECU Reset which is annoying.

Clean your MAF and replace your PCV valve. Both of these have to do with metered air and getting them up to snuff will correct air fuel ratios. Also, clean your TB.

Just soak the PCV (minus any rubber parts, if any) in carb cleaner and it is like new... No need to spend the extra cash.

Don't do that. Its not about it being clogged; the rattle test is a myth. There's a spring in the PCV that wears out, so even if it rattles it can be bad.
