Power
« on: 13 April 2013, 10:49:10 »
out yesterday and noticed when I wanted to overtake a distinct lack of "grunt" when in sports mode a foot hard on accelerator :( :(

Car seems to be running very smooth rest of the time, in fact better that it has for some time otherwise.

Any ideas anybody?

Thanks

As VXL V6 says, check the multirams, as its an easy check.

Is the lack of power low down, midrange, or high up the rev range?

lack of power most noticeable when at top revs.
Multi rams seem free and all vac pipes connected.
