2004 Vibe almost no creep / lack of acceleration power

When putting the car in drive without applying acceleration, the car barely creeps. However, If I am in reverse backing out of a drive way (without gas) it seems effortless.

Re: Stiff gas pedal / throttle

Stiff gas pedal / throttle

I replaced my intake manifold gasket this past weekend. Disconnected the battery, torqued nuts to 22 lbs. except for the middle one which I could get the torque wrench into so I turned that one a quarter past snug.
