Does it need coffee????
So, my 01 vert seems to be a little tired over the past two weeks. It seems to have lost some (well a lot) of it's umpf. It does not have the throw you back power that it used to have. No, it is not me just used to the car, the other morning leaving work after a rainy night, I mashed the go fast pedal and on a wet road it would not break loose the tires.
Besides a lack of power it still seems to run OK, and it has not thrown any codes. The only thing I have noticed is that my gas mileage has gotten a little worse. Anyone have any thought, suggestions, or ideas? |

I've heard of clogged cats acting like that. Check the exhaust flow at the tips during idle, then have someone rev it.

I would suggest a basic tune up. Plugs, wires, filter, and some seafoam.

On the drive into work tonight I tried to put it through the paces once I was on the interstate and at a normal throttle it runs ok, but at WOT it gets a little wonky. From a standing start at a stoplight, my 0 - 60 was almost 10 seconds.
I got a Check Engine light tonight, and pulled the codes with my code scanner... P0101 "Mass or Volume Air Flow Range/Performance Problem" P0102 "Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Low Imput" sooo...I am thinking maybe my MAF Sensor...yes, no? I just cleaned out my filter and cleaned out the Varamam imput ducts so I know they are not clogged. I reset the codes to see if they pop up again on my drive home tomorrow. |

I got a new code yesterday when I was driving home and I hit clear instead of save...ugh.
It was doing something different on the way home from work yesterday. I could press on the accellorator a little, halfway, or 3/4 and the car would maintain a steady speed, then after a few seconds, something would kick in, and it was like someone gave the car a shot of NOS. Even at 70mph, it would throw me back in the seat. |
