Hey guys ive been having a problem with my car which is driving me crazy.It feels damn sluggish,just manages to keep up with a swift diesel idles erratically,and mileage has taken a BIG hit.
Checked compression today,and it was holding around 190-195 psi in all cylinders.Thats fantastic considering the motor has done around 80,000 km of very enthusiastic driving!
Its still very very sluggish.
A brief history,oil changes have been regular every 5000km with shell mineral oil.
Head is ported and polished,4-1 headers.Enlarged throttle body and an exedy clutch.Fuel drlivery system has been checked completely and the tank has been cleaned.I also run 195-60-14 advan neovas at 30psi.(I know they slow me down but that does not justify lack of engine response.)
Now recently when the throttle body was being put back,I noticed the Intake manifold was literally clogged with carbon deposits.Right now Im looking to get the Intake cleared up,the PCV valve replaced,the IAC valve and tps values checked.
Apart from that ..
Should i get the head opened up and cleaned too?
Would an OWS-engine flush do the trick considering the high-mileage of the engine?
Thats it i guess,looking forward to your replies.
BTW i face the exact same problem as this member

Hey,havent will keep you posted on this as soon as i clear my problems above.
Everything else on the car is fine,i enjoy the way she stays on the road with the neovas and the the dail drive to college is really enjoyable with the system Satya put in.
Also got a new steering wheel,an OMP corsica to go with my OMP1000 pedals.Driving only going to get better with this

The gear-know was lying at a friends place actually and wasn't being used coz they couldn't get the allen-head screws. Thats how i got it! The Rubber boot grips just above the allens-crews on the base of the gear-knob.
