my car (mazda familia/323) is very very sluggish. Yes it is an auto but it is painfully slow in reaction times. Can someone suggest some stuff i can do to it to make it somewhat quicker

pls don't tell me to install nitrous or turbo it. it's a company car..so those won't happen for sure :)

A tune-up could do wonders. For an a/t can’t think of anything much.

how about dat injector cleaning thing... and make sure they use the right chemical... i guess 3M has good chemicals... according to my uncle dat injector cleaning thing can do wonders within the limits of the current set-up of the engine! :)

Emmm start by using 95 octane lol..! by the way anyone know from where you can buy some? Theres a shortage on (sorry OT)

my car's manual specifies 90-91 octane, if i pump 95 octane wud it make a difference?

------------------

i have run both 90 and 95 octane but have failed to feel any difference in either performance or fuel econo. As the manual had a clause mentioning that certain devices(i guess CAT) can be damaged by pumping high octane I switched back to 90 octane!

The so-called 95 we have here is only name sake.. it must be a lot lower for sure.

hmmm... indeed, i have heard that 95 octane is not subject to a stnadard specification in SL but on the contrary 90 octane can be trusted with that regard!

yes i did get the injectors cleaned recently as well. there is some improvement after that. my car is much more responsive with the ac off. with AC, it's just a dead dog.

Exactly machan, sometimes I doubt these buggers sell the same 90oct petrol in the 95oct pumps as well. Who knows? Do we have any meters or instruments to check the octane level easily?

If you've cleaned the injectors and it's still sluggish, check your airflow meter/sensor. If it's sluggish with the A/C check if the idle up unit is working and actually gets the revs up when the AC is switched on.

Btw I occasionally drive two Mazdas and I find 90 octane gives better mileage than 95. Independent tests have shown 95 to be very much filthier than 90 in SL. However I stick with 95 on my Alfa which clearly specifies 95 or higher!

i don't know.. could be something with the gear box.. any symptoms i should look out for?

you can compare weather you get the gear shift shock at the same revs with another 323.

Or check with these pdfs will have some sort of trouble shooting.

Any place in Colombo to pump 90 or 95??? :ninja:
