No power when pressing on the gas
I have a 2002 Mitsubishi Lancer OZ rally 5 speed. The engine runs fine but when i put it in gear it has a bad slow acceleration, and little to no power through any gear i put it in. and if i try to push the pedal to the floor it acts like there is nothing there and the RPM gauge redlines and the car revs high but the car doesnt move. It doesnt jerk or anything. i dont have a problem getting it in gear but was told it could be the clutch or slave cylinder. Ive checked the air filter and even removed it and took it for a drive and still same thing. check engine light is on but says that a O2 is bad.
Update (04/29/2017)
its a manual
Is dit een goede vraag?

Hi @geneeakins ,
To me you've answered your own question. If the scan shows a bad O2 sensor that could be the problem. The ECU uses information from sensors such as this one to control how the the engine behaves. With wrong information regarding air intake it will react accordingly.

If you can, follow the clutch cable to where it termanates. Take some photos. Voeg afbeeldingen toe aan een bestaande vraag

Hi @geneeakins ,
Does the engine stall immediately if you release the clutch with no accelerator? If so the clutch is good. If it takes a little while to stall the clutch is slipping. (Make sure that there is nothing close in front of the car when you test this out).

when i release the clutch i took a few before it killed it and i was told it was a hydro clutch unless i was told wrong

i was thinking that maybe the converter was getting clogged but its not choking the motor. the motor runs great
