1.6 sport running sluggish

Post by Woody9065 »

the car runs really sluggish when you put your foot down it hesitates for a while then slowly climbs, it's from idle up to about 4000 revs have changed fuel filter and air filter and cleaned the throttle body

Any help would be much appreciated thanks

What is it doing when you plant the throttle ?
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:
