Acceleration Problems

Musicfreek2002 · Post by **Musicfreek2002** » Fri Mar 24, 2006 9:00 am

I have a 1.0 6n and the problem i get is when i accelerate the car just goes really sluggish. It happens quite alot. As u can imagine its a pain in the arse when ur trying to overtale lorries on the motorway.

ANY IDEAS?

i had a look at the air filter (which really needs to be changed) and the spark plugs, see what there looking like??

ordered mine 2day, so see how it goes from there

Could be holes in the exhaust, My uncle use to test this by leaving the car on idle and blocking the exhaust exit with a cloth and seeing if it stalls, if it doesent then fumes are escaping somewhere.

Sorry for the delay, found the plug for my air flow sensor was loose, plugged it back in and problem sorted.

The saubaru sound is car mis-firing isnt it?

I had this problem before, changed the faulty spark plug.

But im also having problems again, only thing ive done recently is stick a sporty filter on it.
