Having problems with pick up after service...... replacement of fuel filter, plugs, oil & oil filter.....car still pulls well put don't get the kick after 4000rpm that i used to have...
Also when started in the morning (cold mornings) get a tapping noise (Tappets) for a few seconds?? am i using too thick an oil 15W 40????
exactly, i bet you used to have a flat spot which is why you felt the pickup all of a sudden, had the same thing on my gte when it was new. after a new filter and oil, it smoothed out and i thought "wheres my power gone" but its still there but smoothed over a flat spot.
Suppose that could be??.......ride to work today was good anyway...i'm well happy with the new exhaust system i had fitted....removed the CAT and got a full Janspeed system with 2.0 16v sport backbox.....car is flying now....Thanks for teh posts guys!
Will be posting my new pics tomorrow
