What Causes Engine Power Loss?
1 Answers
Engine power loss can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Carbon buildup: Carbon deposits on the valves, idle air control valve, intake manifold, combustion chamber, and spark plugs can cause the engine to stall during idling. 2. Driving in congested traffic: Frequent acceleration and deceleration in heavy traffic conditions can lead to a sluggish feeling when driving the car again. 3. Poor fuel quality: Using low-quality fuel can affect the fuel filter and fuel lines, potentially causing poor fuel delivery and resulting in weak acceleration. 4. Exhaust system malfunction: Exhaust system issues, mainly caused by a clogged catalytic converter or broken exhaust components, can reduce engine power output due to restricted exhaust flow.
