View Full Version : No top end?!

Car was running a bit weak, so i decided to get rid of the IK and put the airbox back in with a k&n replacement filter. This improved things, but the car has still lost some top end power.

In 5th, it's really struggling to get from 100 > 110 :?

Am going to re-set the ecu, as this fixed martins car a few weeks back - any other ideas though?

A really good service
New leads
Check coil
New sparks
New oil
Clean / change filter

as strange as it might sound, mine was definitely faster after leaving the battery out for a bit

Just what i've been thinking... it seems to pull ok in the lower gears, but seems very slow above 100 :? similar to that vid once in 5th i would say

doing an oil & filter change next w/e as i ran out of time today

i think it's probably the warmer weather and me getting used to the speed

Just been out for a quick spin...

It's definitely pulling ok, but there just doesn't seem to be any noticable point where it comes on cam :?

Am i paranoid? :(
