Car sluggish at Low RPM
Hi there. I'd posted this under the general tech section before noticing this section on issues.
I have a 2004 MT with 56000 km on it.
Recently (past few weeks) it has been acting sluggish/hestitant at Low RPM. Bogs down and the throttle response is not smooth until I hit about 4RPM then it takes off.
It also takes a few seconds of cranking to start, and has gotten worse the past few days.
Starting out on a hill is very sluggish and the car nearly stalls.
I still have the original plugs/coils/wires. When I called the garage to make an appointment, the tech manager said it might be the plugs and suggested new ones at that mileage.
Any thoughts? I'm hoping it just needs new plugs or coils, and this isn't an actual engine/exhaust problem.
I see a few other simliar threads with this sort of problem and it normally seems to be a plug/coil issue.
Thanks
