i have a 2001 mitsubishi diamante. and the best way i can describe the tugging, would have to be that its a slight jerking- to where my head kind of bobs- lol. no really. my acceleration is not aggresive at all either. i am a smooth driver. and i jus recently had the oil changed. and i just purchased the car, so i am not sure of when the last tune up was. so with that being said i hope i was able to help out with a little bit of a better description...

You can try to give us a lot more info please. What you drive, for starters, a better description of Tugging would help, as well. We do honestly try to help, but are not mind readers. Some times one of us will be aware of vehicle specific issues, thus the more info the better the response.

Okay, another car question without the car listed!! So, with no information to go on, I will give you the best answer I can.
I ASSUME you have a front wheel drive car... If that is accurate, a certain amount of pulling is normal on hard acceleration. If it has gotten worse though, you may have a broken engine or transaxle mount which effectively exasperates the condition. In fact, as an example, a Dodge caravan can actually separate one of it's axles on acceration if not properly aligned due to a bad engine mount.
If I have not given you the information you need, e mail me with MORE details and I will be happy to assist.

This is an easy one. It doesn't matter what kind of car or any other details:
1. You have a very low tire on one of your front wheels or possibly a rear tire. Check the air pressure in all of the tires.
2. You need a front end or four wheel alignment. This happens with age and hitiing pot holes or curbs in or along the road ruins the alignment faster.
Good Luck!

Without knowing what kind of car or how hard you accelerate, we will have to guess that it is a front wheel drive. It can be several things, Wheel alignment, torque steer, under inflated tires, dragging break, strut, and a host of others. Have it checked if you can not eliminate any of the above.

Yes,if you feel "tugging",you might still be towing a Ford product behind you.JK.It could be so many numerous things that nobody could give a correct diagnosis on this forum.Check fuel delivery,spark condition,look for possible brake hang ups such as a sticking caliper.

Neffra There are a few ways to narrow down this problem and the first one is obvious,the question is when did you have your last tune up? Have your local mechanic check out the car and have him give you a detailed report of his findings.GOOD LUCK

I would need more information on what you mean by "tugging". It may be a problem with your ignition system (spark plugs, wires, ...) or it can be a problem with your tranny. Mileage and info on what type of car will also help. :)
