Why does the car feel heavier to drive than before?

[Pearl]

The reasons why a car feels heavier to drive than before are as follows: 1. Carbon deposits in the engine are most common in the throttle body and fuel injector areas. If these are not cleaned regularly over time, carbon buildup can occur, weakening the engine's power. Cleaning the three filters, throttle body, and spark plugs can usually restore the engine's original performance. 2. Check if the tire pressure is too low, as insufficient tire pressure can reduce the car's power, making it feel heavier while driving. Alternatively, inspect whether the engine's air intake or exhaust pipes are clogged, as a blocked exhaust pipe can affect the engine's normal operation. 3. If the driving control feels poor, it may indicate an issue with the steering wheel, possibly a malfunction in the power steering system. Most cars use electronic power steering, and if this system fails, the steering wheel can become significantly heavier.
