If the engine has been standing for a time(6 months to a year) take the sparkys out and drop a little oil on top of the pistons, replace sparkys and turn over for 3 or 4 secs.
If car is running ok you can buy an Additive from your local Car/Truck store for a little cash. Bearing in mind it wont 'fix' the sluggishness but will help in the long run. Put some in every 4th fill up. HTHS

What does v stands for in a car enGine?
Engines are made in three formats. You have 'V' 'I' and 'W'. Its the inclination of the cylinders. 'I' means that its an inline engine all the cylinders are in a line moving up and down. 'V' means that the cylinders are oriented in a 'V' for instance a V6 has 3 cylinders each side and they move from the bottom of the 'V' to the top moving away from each other on either side as they do. It literally looks like a 'V'. A 'W' is two 'V's side by side rigged together.
What does engine oil do to a diesel engine?

Oil is needed to grease the parts so that the components move properly without causing harm to the machines.

What force keeps your car moving?
The force generated by the expansion of burning gasses, inside the combustion cylinders of a car powered by an internal combustion engine.
Why is it important for an internal combustion engine to have a cooling system?
Very quickly an uncooled engine will get so hot that the moving pistons weld themselves into their cylinders, ruining the engine. The oil system is part of that cooling process, by the way.

Not really. If one of the three cylinders is not functioning, the engine has lost MORE than 1/3 of the power if you take into consideration that the engine is still moving the "dead" piston.
