What Are the Causes of Reduced Engine Power?
1 Answers
Engine power reduction can be caused by fuel system malfunctions, intake system issues, or ignition system failures. Below are detailed explanations: Fuel System Malfunctions: Faulty fuel pumps, clogged fuel filters, or carbon buildup in fuel injectors can all lead to decreased engine power. Intake System Issues: Blocked air filters, leaks in the intake ducts, or carbon deposits on the throttle body can result in insufficient air intake. This causes weak acceleration, slow speed increase, and a jerky feeling. Ignition System Failures: Poor spark plug performance can prevent the proper combustion of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, and in severe cases, lead to engine misfires.
