Lost Horsepower

Hey Everyone,

Recently, my 2002 Civic has been feeling very sluggish like not getting up to speed as quickly as it used to. I know I've been loosing horsepower over the years so I was wondering if you had any thoughts on how to restore the horsepower that I've lost. I've been thinking about using the BG 44K to see if it will help a little. Any thoughts on this? And any other thoughts how to restore horsepower?

losing horsepower is not normal, you must have a problem with the engine

Re: Lost Horsepower

Try plugs, air filter, oil change, turbo, k-swap. Sluggish is fixable. Never heard of that stuff before.

Re: Lost Horsepower

Check the catalytic converter. It's probably clogged.
