New here - your help/view isgreatly appreciated.
Recent purchase, great body condition, minimal rust, always garaged, just had rad, pump, fuel filter and thermostat, starter motor etc (receipted and all checks out, mint)
145k km on the clock. On test drive - seemed fine
Drive next day (after splashing some fuel in) - loads of low-down torque, but nothing above 4k, or very jumpy/hesitant/low power.
Was overdue a service, so have done sparks, filters and oil and injector cleaner in the tank etc etc - sounds MUCH better but still nothing above 4k
Service book says VVT/variator done about 5k km ago, but with the very little driving the previous owner did, that is about 2.5 years ago!
Coil packs seem a bit loose fitting but this FEELS more like fuelling issue to me. VVT issues would still allow decent power I guess?
THANKS
