How to Solve Insufficient Power in Surui?

[McAlana]

Regularly perform maintenance according to the official maintenance manual, including timely replacement of engine oil, oil filter, cleaning or replacing the air filter, and changing the oil filter. Check whether there is carbon buildup in the throttle body, if the intake manifold is leaking, and if related sensors are malfunctioning. Regularly inspect the levels of engine oil and coolant, and avoid mixing different types of engine oil or using water as a substitute for coolant.

When I drove the Surui before, I also encountered power shortage issues. Based on my experience, the most common causes are restricted air intake or weak ignition. For example, if the air filter is dirty, dust and grime can block the air intake, preventing the engine from getting enough air, which then struggles to rev up. If the spark plugs are aged or eroded, the ignition won’t be strong enough, leading to incomplete combustion and sluggish performance. As for the fuel system, clogged fuel injectors or a weak fuel pump can result in insufficient fuel supply, naturally affecting acceleration. I recommend starting with the basics: check if the air filter is clean and replace it if dirty; remove the spark plugs to see if the electrodes are blackened and replace them if necessary. For fuel-related issues, you can use a fuel additive to clean the fuel lines. If DIY isn’t your thing, take the car to a professional repair shop for a full inspection—reading the trouble codes with a diagnostic tool can pinpoint the problem. Also, don’t forget to check tire pressure; if it’s too low, rolling resistance increases, affecting acceleration feel. Regular maintenance of these components can prevent such issues, ensuring smooth and safe driving.

As a long-time Suri owner, I once struggled with power loss, and experience told me it was mostly due to improper maintenance. Being lazy about changing the oil and filters led to sludge buildup over time, increasing internal engine friction and preventing the RPM from rising. Excessive carbon deposits in the engine lowered the cylinder compression ratio, making acceleration feel sluggish. Take action promptly: change to high-quality oil and air filters every 5,000 km, and clean the throttle body and fuel injectors if necessary—this will help the engine recover its vitality. Avoid prolonged low-RPM driving, and occasionally run at high RPM on the highway to clear carbon deposits. Always use premium gasoline from reputable stations; don’t skimp on low-quality fuel, as it reduces efficiency and saps power. If the issue persists, visit a 4S shop for a full inspection—they can scan computer data to check for sensor faults or hidden problems and advise whether an engine software update is needed. Remember, simple prevention beats costly and time-consuming repairs.

Don't panic if you notice reduced power in your Surui. First, adjust your daily driving habits. Previously, I often floored the accelerator to rev high, causing long-term engine overheating and carbon buildup, resulting in sluggish acceleration. Now, I drive more gently, smoothly increasing speed to avoid sudden excessive load, which actually protects the engine's lifespan. Regularly take the car on highways to clear carbon deposits—at least one long high-speed run every two weeks helps unclog the system. Check the air filter monthly; replace it if too dirty, as it affects air intake efficiency. For fuel, always use 95-octane or higher gasoline, avoiding mixing different brands to ensure cleaner and more complete combustion. If you suspect deeper issues, like faults in the engine management system or sensor errors, pull over safely and call for assistance. Safety first—insufficient power poses risks during highway overtaking. Finally, maintaining good driving habits extends your car's life and reduces major repair hassles.
