feeling sluggish

Post by c0n13oX »

So i got my car back from the mechanics, water pipe fixed. Now my fto is feeling a bit sluggish in acceleration compared to what it was. Any ideas what i can do to fix this? Or what could be the cause?

Very broad man ...

Your best bet... Go back to the mechanic, tell him what has happened... And how the car feels.. Could be as simple as not plugging in a vacuum line, or some really simple thing...

But as for anyone being able to diagnose over the net, not knowing what exactly the mechanic has touched... Well, we could call out 1,000 things, and none of them could be relevant...
I just had to add it ......

It is probably a blocked catalytic convertor.
