low performance

andrewgrazier · 24-04-2006, 10:17 PM

ive noticed over the last month i just feel like i am having to rev the car harder when im taking off at lights n hills n stuff like that

ive been driving other cars a bit like the mx5 so i dont know
it dosent seem to be getting any worse
its not blowin smoke either
dad reckons the rings might be starting to go

thers still the same amount of power in the higher revs thoguh

Have you serviced the car lately, ie changed plugs, points and dizzy cap if it has them, oil, air filter, transmisson oil, checked the timing?
All these sorts of things can make your car lose power.

or clutch going...

mine used to do that also. i found an exhaust leak at the O2 sensor, fixed that and now drive more conservatively with an occasional spurt - is that the right word? - and it seems to go quite nicely from take off now. i also run 95 octane but the car isnt tuned for it so i think that is just my head playing tricks

clutch is like just a year old now
it kinda feels like a clogged up fuel filter or somthing
but its only down low revs
ill have a good look over it tommorow though
its due for oil in another like 3000kms
