Default Re: Suddenly sluggish

Yesterday it was generally better, although a couple of times it seemed to go back to being sluggish. I started wondering if one of the coils is on its way out, but there is no point trying to diagnose that until it falls completely otherwise I'm chasing an intermittent fault like a fool.

Today it behaved.

I will have another 60 miles on it tomorrow then will refuel again and see how it goes. I'll pop some Winns DryFuel in just to get any condensation out of the tank.

Fuel consumption used to be 60mpg, it's dropped to 52-54 in the last couple of months. Is consumption doesn't pick up in planning to get the throttle bodies rebalanced and replace the plugs as a precaution.

The first tank was 60mpg and performance normal. The second was 56mpg but Sharon performance was good, but I think I overfilled the tank.

Seems to be OK on performance now. Just the brakes are now playing up (see my other thread)
