Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

15 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is it my imagination or do some of you ever experience this?

POST 2Original post

Sometimes when my car has been driven for a while and the temperature is between the 180 mark and the next mark up (220?). Seems a little sluggish then.

POST 3Original post

Temp, air pressure in tire, dirty MAF, bad gas, foul plugs, dirty injectors can all result this. I avoid buying gas after rain and check my tire pressure every month. Dropping in a bottle of techron every 6-12 months also.

POST 4Original post

I too was thinking dirty MAF. I know with audi's it'd throw a code immediately and then eventually CEL, same with p-cars?

POST 6Original post

try driving a suburban on the weekdays - that always takes the sluggishness out of my porsche the downside though is that it makes me feel like the suburban becomes a schoolbus after a session driving the p-car

POST 7Original post

drive it harder!! pedal to the medal will take care of it!! LOL

POST 8Original post

dress like some punk about to key your car- wear tennis shoes, maybe a wife beater tee, and jean shorts. pretend you just stole the car from some rich bastard. now drive away with it!

POST 9Original post

I think we have to be more serious! If you drive a tip, like I do...I felt it was sluggish too...weather couldn't be the issue I live in SoCal.....I put a fabspeed cold air intake on the car...and now I feel a little more push. I saw a evo cold air intake on Ebay for 250 or so....Wish I would have seen this one sooner!! Evo gives you more power..... I also use fuel cleaners.

POST 10Original post

Hmm hook up an OBDII scanner if you can and see if there any "stored" codes even if you don't have a CEL. What happens is sometimes if there's an error of some kind the ECU diverts back down to a "safe" type mode. Basically a less aggressive map and it runs pig rich.. That could be it Things like aged 02 sensors and so forth... Or disconnect the battery and drive it like a maniac for a while and see what happens

POST 13Original post

what do you mean shark by disconnect the battery and drive it like a maniac!?!? Do you mean start the car...disconnect the battery? what will happen??

POST 14Original post

err, the car wont run after you disconnect the battery! he means disconnect it for 15 mins or so to "clear and reset" everything, then hook it up again and drive!

POST 15Original post

It must be the flux capacitor...bump it up to 50 jigawatts
