What Causes the Engine to Feel Underpowered?
1 Answers
Engine acceleration weakness can be attributed to the following specific reasons: 1. Intake manifold leaks causing an overly lean air-fuel mixture. 2. Low fuel pressure, clogged fuel injectors or fuel filter leading to insufficient fuel injection or delayed fuel increase. 3. Faulty signals from the mass airflow sensor, intake manifold absolute pressure sensor, or throttle position sensor, resulting in no or insufficient increase in fuel injection. 4. Incorrect sensor signals causing improper ignition timing, leading to delayed ignition. 5. Weak high-voltage sparks due to faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or high-tension wires. 6. Dirty throttle body. 7. Malfunctioning exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system. 8. Blocked exhaust pipe. 9. Low cylinder compression. 10. Turbocharger system failure.
