I remember when this car was brand new it would haul up hills like a champ.

Now it's struggling to accelerate up hill. When i first had it.I drove from Western Sydney to Agnes Water, Queensland ( 1,442 km, 15 hours 39 mins)and that's a fair amount of mileage and Western Sydney to Canberra ( 285 km, 2 hours 50 mins)This car was peppy on the way there no problem putting the power down and it was just a joy to drive. Now it's sluggish:frown: It probably needs to be rejuvenated.I took it for another long trip today to Kiama, near Wollongong and BOY this car was struggling to keep pace with the Mazdas, Hyundais, Hondas, you get the point.

Poor thing.:frown::cry:

x2 time for a tune up. Also you might want to clean the throttle valve especially if you got close to 100k miles and it's been 5-6 years. If that doesn't work than you could have put some old cheap gas into your tank sometime, somewhere. I learned never to put my gas from an old gas station you never know what U gonna get.

And (at least north of I-10) the very cheapest stations in our metro are usually not physically older ones. In California (from my experience), the cheapest stations often ARE the physically older ones.

It's fly by wire throttle body right? So w e can't just remove it and give it a good ole clean.
