Hi,

I have recently notice my car seems a bit flat/lacks power from 2/2/5k revs and below. Before i was ok in that range and recently i have been pressing the accelerator and it sometime takes time for power to come in and others feels bit like its missing.

Any ideas what this can be?

Thanks in advance

Matt

 

.... what car?

 

sorry m8, i copied the post from another forum where my car is in my sig.. oops lol.

Sorry its a mk1 1.8 petrol. jus bin in me car and the loss of power feels a bit like heatsoak u get with cone filter. Also noticed a massive flat spot in 4th at 2.5k revs which wasnt there before

First things I'd guess at is the fuel filter or somthing ignition related. after that I'd try and get a diagnostic on it.

 

will get it checked out m8. I had diagnostic a while back and it jus pulled through 2nd lambda sensor which shud be sorted as EML is off now. Iv had diagnostics run on it before for different things and when EML not on it pulls nothin through.

Hopefully will get it sorted. Sum1 suggested checking the MAF see if its clean and check the ht leads??

you could try driving around with the MAF unplugged see if it changes. It'll bring up an engine warning light that'll stay on but it will tell you if its the MAF
