hoskins83 Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 i've got a 16i 16v and i think it's lacking power and does not seem to get up hills very well any ideas. i thought an engine tune may do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Escort SI Posted May 21, 2003 Share Posted May 21, 2003 I would start by checking the obvious, Plugs, Leads etc and try to give it a service that may help. If that doesnt work i would deffo take it to a rolling road but service it first!!! they should tell u all u need to know for a small fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What car did you own before?? Have you come down in power since last car??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
