Lately I've noticed my car seems to be revving a lot slower once it reaches the more higher revs.
But today it was confirmed after I gave my friend a run. Last time I ran him, he would only pull away from me at about 120km/h. While now he pulls away from the moment we take off [well after 1st/2nd second of launch].
Also to even further test it, on the way home i tried revving it all the way out in 1st gear and noticed it would really struggle to reach 7000 rpms, while it used to rev straight to redline [7300 rpm] so quick I thought I was getting wheelspin or clutchslip.
Anyone know the problem? The engine in question is a Jap spec 3SGE from an SW20 MR2. It's late so I can't be stuffed checking now. But tomorrow I'll be taking a look at the spark plugs and air filter. The only other thing I can think of is timing. I don't know that much about mechanics, so that's all I can think of. Just wanna know if there's anything else I should check before I take it to mechanics tomorrow night.
