Find the slowest 1st gen times and then add a second.

well my mx6 is definately not the fastest...some of you probably remember problems I had about year ago that have never gone?? Well they are getting worst....especially on hills??? LIke taking off on ahill and there is no power and there is metal clunking noise?? Any suggests?

**DarkSlayer** · 7-12-04, 22:59

not much to go there. does the exhaust souond really loud or drony?

**Cromax** · 7-13-04, 4:36

But you're backfiring ...

... maybe it's a cracked spark plug or something else really basic.

I've heard that a stuffed catalyst can cause loss of power ... but that'd be unusual, considering out cars should never need a new cat until the engine needs rebuilding (300k+)

I think you said you did change the spark plugs though ...

**ODIN** · 7-13-04, 4:40

doesnt the cat only last about 90,000 -120,000?

**Cromax** · 7-13-04, 5:48

nah ... that's on old 80s POS's

Our cars should last a lot longer before we replace them.

The one in my car is the original one ... and it's fine!

**Chickebabe** · 7-13-04, 7:03

Yeah replaced all the spark plugs and leads

**DarkSlayer** · 7-13-04, 22:47

hmm maybe one of the plugs isnt in properly. i got my car serviced and was driving around for a week before i checked it and found one of the plugs was loose as hell.

**Chickebabe** · 7-13-04, 23:08

So should I just pull out the plugs and put them back in???

Maybe this topic is a bit too 'ontopic'... not many of you have been posting lately....??

**DarkSlayer** · 7-14-04, 23:00

well, i failed one unit at uni so now ive got that same one unit left in my degree and thats it.

just thought id share around some of my misery

**Snuff** · 7-14-04, 23:08

Too bad Darkslayer... b*atchin

Chickebabe- do you think you could be running lean and predetonating? Can you describe the metal sound better?
