I have been noticing this for a while now...the car just feels sluggish. I used to be able to get a scratch going from 2nd to 3rd and could light the right rear up in 2nd....now it just feels like a snail. The car has close to 92k miles on it now, no smoke, no ses lights, gas mileage has been falling too, it has gone from 30 to 28 or less on the highway.
Plugs and wires are still good, replaced last December.
I suspect the cat may be getting clogged or maybe the EGR getting clogged, but still no ses lights. When it is still cold it runs great, but as soon as the temp gets normal it feels sluggish.
Anyone have any ideas? I get to park the car now and not drive it so much, so I have time to tinker with it. ( company car coming soon.)
I have been thinking about this a little, I had my MAF screen removed for a few months, I think it caused a rich condition with the MAF not reading properly and may have partially clogged the cat. I think I am going to replace the cat with a hiflo and get a 3" or 2.75" I Pipe. When the Cat heats up, it may expand the goodies inside enough to cause some blockage.
Anyone have any ideas? I plan on replacing the fuel filter soon though I doubt that could cause this because it runs strong when the engine is still cool.
