The car still accelerates fine at peak rpm, and sounds 'raspy' loud however if you open throttle in low rpm in any gear i can hear a horrible boy racer type sound coming from underneath me and car feels sluggish until vtec engages.
What could this be? From the sounds I think exhaust however the garage states everything is fine and can see no leaks. Is there a way to test this using equipment?
** last week - The lambda sensor after cat was throwing up a light on the dash, but after replacing it the eml has turned off.
Could a new exhaust system eliminate this sluggish problem considering car is on it's original exhaust since 2002 although there is minimal rust. Does it affect performance?
What causes sluggishness? Apart from exhaust leaks. Fuel regulator? Fuel filter? Or something in airbox/air filter?
Just added iridium spark plugs, helix ultra 5w40, hamp short filter.
Hit me up with what you guys think.
