96 P lack of power
96 P lack of power
I have a 96 p 1.4 cl, aex engine. It feels down on power. I have changed the leads and plugs but it doesnt help. The car just feels hesitant, not misfiring but sluggish. Has anyone got any ideas? Ive heard that sometimes replacing the exhaust can help.

i would suggest cleaning out your throttle. This is done by removing your current Airbox/air filter assembley, opening the throttle opening and spraying in Carb Cleaner (can get this from Halfords). fit airbox assembly back on and switch the engine on, letting it run idle for a while.
In this process you can replace the air filter as well, or replace it with an induction kit. a K&N simply mounts ontop of the throttle with a jubilee clip.
I may have a complete K&N complete with all neccessary pipes and servicing kit up for sale if any1 is interested!![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
