Default sluggish feel solved

Hi guys,

I recently bought an 02 AU series 3 XR6 and realised that it felt a little sluggish (compared to my bros 01 AU2) from the take off until i put my foot down.

I searched this forum for threads that had similar problems and made a list of possible reasons and found that things such as leads, coil pack, ECU, blocked cat, fuel pump ect. could be the problem.

I got new leads and spark plugs fitted as per the advice of a mechanic which thankfully solved the problem.

The car felt so much better and responsive after that so i just wanted to post this up incase there are others out there with similar issues. having said that, this may not be the solution for everyone as it may be something else but worth the input.

Hope that helps.
