Sounds like your brakes were dragging. Did you smell anything?

You might go back and ask to talk to the mechanic who worked on the brakes and ask him what he found and tell him your car seems to have a lot more power now. He might be able to explain it. If the service manager gives you a hard time about talking to the mechanic you could say I'd like to thank him and give him a tip.
Let us know what you find out.

you took your car to a mechanic to change brake lights? why would you not replace them yourself? As for your vehicle having more power, maybe it had carbon build up, if you live in the city or drive slowly all the time, this is a possibility. All they would have to do is drive fast and burn the carbon out.

Maybe it was a brake light switch they fixed?
If it was dodgy it would give a fuel cut signal to the brain

I wouldn't put it past them that they messed with a sensor or something so you'll be going back to them with another problem soon enough. laugh

Hey Duro I posted a copy of this thread on a car site I hang out on. I'll check back tomorrow and see what they have to say.

BTW, I lived in Pinellas Park years ago. I worked for a place called Florida Brake and Clutch.

Well, I got about a dozen responses from the other site and I almost got a headache reading them. From what I gather there is a connection between the brake light circuit and the ECU (computer) which tells the ECU to cut back the power if it senses a signal from the brake light circuit. This way when you're trying to slow the car down with the brakes, the engine can't be allowed to be adding more power to make the car go faster. Apparently the faulty brake light circuit was sending this "slow down" signal to the ECU causing a chronic loss of power. Once the faulty brake light circuit was corrected all the power which was there but throttled back, became available again.
