Loss Of Performance

Hi all,

I have a Altezza 1999 which I have been very happy with.

However I have just recently had problems with the acceration.

When I get to 5000rpm I was used to getting put back in the seat.

But as I get to 5000rpm now it hits a bit of a flat spot and doesn't

perform like it used to. :unsure:

Has anyone got any ideas what could cause this?

Thank you

Ned... :)

have you done anything to the car recently? service/induction kit/ spark plugs? sounds like a fuelling issue. maybe give the MAF sensor and Inlet valve a cleaning and check ur air filter. try resetting ur ECU and see if that helps

I haven't done anything before hand. But have since changed the air filter and plugs.

A friend pulled the fuses for the ecu, will that reset the ecu?

I am having plans to have a cam belt change and general service and will then clean the maf at the same time. Hopefully that will help.

We had an RS200 here in Sydney with much the same problem - car was ok unless you gave it a bootful, at which point it would 'flat spot' above 5000rpm as you have described. It turned out to be a faulty MAF sensor, and the owner ended up replacing the whole throttle body to sort the problem out.
