Could use some help from some nova maicer's

SlverEJ20 · 04-08-2008, 03:11 AM

Today my car started to act really sluggish and I really have no idea why it is doing this. The only thing that i have done recently was change my oil from Mobil 1 5w-30 to Rotella 5w-40..... I do not think the oil is what has made my car slower but i thought that I would atleast give as much info as possible. Its a 2005 wrx, with snorkel delete and a axle back that went on today after the problem started. My question is could a fellow macier in the area that is really good with solving problems meet up with me and help me out? Any help would be great since i dont have time to bring my car to a stealership anytime soon.
Cheers

Checked for vacuum leaks?
Checked boost levels to see that you're boosting full?

I'd help if I was back in town, in Florida for another two weeks.

What do you mean, sluggish?

Just generally all around less power? Or sudden loss of power? How does it idle?

the car idles fine revs fine boost's fine, is holding the same amount of vaccum as it did before fine but the power just does not seem there. I even got my friend to drive my car and he could feel the loss of power also. I'm thinking about cleaning my Maf maybe its dirty.......
