rangoon Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 HI-GUYS, MY mk2 1.6 16v petrol engine ford focus, is very lifeless at traffic lights, it is very slow at pulling away, can anybody tell me what to do to put some life back into it, any help will be welcome. I just did a oil and filters change and fitted new plugs, still no joy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodkat Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Has it always been gutless or something that has just happened? Sent via the 'Clacks' GNU STP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangoon Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 I`ve only had the car for 5weeks, and it has always seem to be lifeless, hence I thought of doing a mini service hoping to help it put some life back into it, still no joy.

jeebowhite Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 is it a manual or auto? also is it a VVT engine? If it has variable cams they can be gutless, but if its a standard and manual, you will probably find it needs a proper service. Mini would help a little, but I am suspecting the plugs, leads and coils would be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
