With performance issues you want to stick to basic diagnostic rules.
The primary rule is:
Simplest things first...... Then work you way up the diagnostic tree step by step from the simplest to the more complex.
With that in mind you could start with re-calibrating your E-gas pedal.
Also a simple "Vacuum test" with a PROPER VACUUM GAUGE.
Not a smoke test.
Those two things are very simple to do.
A proper vacuum gauge is very inexpensive and a valuable diagnostic tool.
The first Vacuum test to do is:
Find a place to connect the gauge directly into the intake.
Have the car fully warmed up:
Let the car just Idle (I believe you Brits call it tick over) 
Record the reading and very importantly the action of the needle if any.
Ideal reading is 18-22 in.hg with a rock steady needle.
Watch the gauge for several minutes at idle look for any changes in reading or needle action.
Let us know how you go. |
