Gday all!
I have felt my car (DC2R) is feeling sluggish lately. I didn't take too much notice of it until someone else drove my car and said it felt sluggish and questioned me why that was... So now I know its not just me. It still revs out to redline, still VTECs, etc. but just feels a bit "slower" than usual.
I first felt the sluggishness after I changed my car battery about 2 months ago. Mods: Intake, header, high flow cat, exhaust, Power FC.
I got the ECU tuned around start of the year maybe. It was good back then and did not feel sluggish.
I've also had an issue with my cat for a while now. Its been rattling for maybe a year. At first it was just the heatshield but that was pulled off and rattling stopped for a month but then came back, but not as loud. I've been too lazy to get it looked it, but I got my ECU tuned while it was rattling and the tune was fine.
I also got a major service done on my car maybe a month ago but it didn't make a difference to the sluggishness. I'm sure they changed fuel filter, and whatever other things get done during a major.
So basically, the sluggishness seems to have happened only after changing my battery about 2 months ago. My question is: will having no power to a Power FC have any effects to its memory and the tune?
My other thought is that maybe the cat has finally almost carked it and is affecting my car revving? Can a cat make a car feel sluggish?
