Hey latley my Magna 1996 TE 3.0l has beeen a bit sluggish, as i dont know much bout cars just wondering what it could be, like its still really quick, but lately just feels a bit sluggish. its around the 160 000 kms mark, all mods listed below.

alot a things on this forum lately about blocked cats...?? could this be the problem, if so how would one clear a cat, or would a new one be in order.

Thanks
Pat

You clean your cat by gettin some other poor f*cker to do it!!! the sh*t inside of them STINKS!!! dunno really, maybe needs service, maybe nothing, weather?

It feels feels like alot of "flat spots" at strange places
Its annoying me so much, i just want to know what it is so i can fix it

Forget Cleaning the Cat, to test if it is stuffed, you need to tap it and see if it rattles..
If It is stuffed it is time for a new one..
Hollowing one out is an Idea but a really foolish one, cause if you get caught your car will be defected and you will have to go through the EPA testing again..

When was the last time your fuel filter, spark plugs and air cleaner were repalced (or cleaned if a K&N) as that can give poor/sluggish performance they are some items many people forget about whilst servicing.

well it went for a service a couple of months ago,didnt take note of what was done really, but ive done a bit since then.... mainly in first gear there is a big flat spot down low.... any one else had this

when was the last time you had it retuned?

Never, i think... some of my work mates have been saying that it needs a retune... but i still dont have the greddy installled, so im saving up to install that first and that should hopefully fix the problem

my 3l tf is running like a dog also.. i think it just needs a tune and a time, maybe an auto tranny service... my gf took a auto te for a test drive the other day and it seemed more responsive than my TF with extractors and lukey :shock:

I hope it just comes down to a retune
