Why is my car sluggish all of a sudden?

If your car appears sluggish or you notice sudden unexplained bursts of speed, you should get the fuel pump checked. The fuel pump is a long-lasting component and you are unlikely to have any problems for many years, but it will eventually wear out. If the fuel pump malfunctions or fails, it must be replaced.
