Afternoon,
Car running slowly... Not too slow but doesn't pick up as it should, feels like its about 100 horses down.
Under hard acceleration it seems to hold back and I can feel it surging. It used to go like stink so something is wrong.
No fault codes showing, no warning lights.
I found a vacuum leak this afternoon, fixed.
Checked plugs and they look perfect, correct colour, gap etc.
Checked air filter, it's got a cone filter that its always had in my ownership. Found that for some reason there was a rubber restrictor taking diameter down to 65mm. Seems odd to me that one, so removed just in case the hot weather meant it wasn't breathing properly.
Took out for a run and it was a touch better, but still pants. Yes, it is 27 degrees out here, but it is surging as opposed to just slow.
I have the car running LPG or petrol and it does the same on both which, to me, means its not fuel related.
Any ideas welcome...
Cheers, nev
