Power Loss... 18 mpg... Accord 2.3L VTEC
Man, my 98 Honda Accord with the 2.3L VTEC feels like its taking a dump. More like its always fighting uphill on level ground.
Fuel mileage dropped to 18 city/ 24 hwy. I dropped some new plugs in and checked the old ones. Looks fine. No oil consumption. Changed the filter/oil.... usual maintanance stuff. I mean it runs good, just won't get up and go. Struggles and struggles.
No check engine light. But I'm thinking the cat may be getting clogged. Someone I know on my Jeep forum suggested it may be the fuel mapping. I never have to work on this car so I'm not real familiar with problems that commonly arrise. It does have an undercarriage rattle when I start it up and shut it down. Ideas??
How can check the cat to see if its the culprit without replacing it??
