While turbos make engines more efficient, if anything goes wrong with them, the engine will lose power. Problems could be as simple as dirt or debris entering the turbo and causing issues with the mechanism.
Similarly, a simple hole or loose connection in the tubing will hugely impact on performance. Turbochargers also need oil to work effectively so ensure that oil and the oil filter are well maintained. The cooling system is designed to maintain the engine at a particular temperature. In very high external temperatures, an overloaded heating system would cause the cooling fan to start working harder, taking power away from the engine and reducing performance levels.
If the weather is cool and the engine is overheating, this points to a more serious problem. Always keep an eye on the engine temperature, as running with a hot engine is likely to cause serious permanent damage to a car. Power loss from an overheated cooling system could also be experienced if the car is at high altitudes, where the air is thin.
If you feel your car is accelerating more slowly than usual, it could be a sign of a clogged catalytic converter. Log in. Search titles only. Search Advanced search…. New posts. Search forums.

You should also listen to VDC and do something with the fuel filter. I regret to inform you that your Corolla 1. Hits got a timing chain, which will outlast the rest of the engine. Could also be fuel pump relay or fuel injector ballast resistor, if it has only one, vs one for each injector. I will look into the fuel filter issue again. Someone also suggested the mass air sensor which I will also look into.
The mechanic has not been able to duplicate the problem. It is intermittent. The weather is getting warmer here and it seems to be doing it less and less. This sounds goofy to me. I will look into the MAF sensor. Never heard of that before. No the tune up did not include and air filter. That spells lack of fuel being injected into the engine. This is rookie mechanic kind of stuff; yet, no one seems to understand it. A pity. A dirty fuel filter drops fuel pressure and flow rate.
Checking fuel pressure is more than just attaching a fuel pressure test gauge to the fuel line. Mechanic diagnoses the problem and quotes necessary repairs.
