Hi I have a 1994 Nissan Sunny Auto 1.6,

I mainly use the car for short journeys but try to give it an hours run at least once a week, Even with Injection cleaner it still has no acceleration unless I floor it, I'm aware the Fuel is poor here, so when I can I fill up with 100 Octane in Southern Cyprus,fuel filter was changed at last service, but It's still sluggish
Any Idea's?

Thanks

    It's an 18 year old Nissan with a fairly underpowered engine going through an automatic gearbox. The obvious things like a good thorough engine service will help, but the fault may well be the gearbox just getting old and tired (along with the engine). You could try getting the oil changed in it, but that may well be something only a dealer or specialised mechanic can do and could be expensive.

    It's up to you - spend money on it and it might go a bit faster. or put up with it, save your money and buy something newer and more pokey when you've got the money.

    Injector cleaner? Doesnt it have a carburettor?

    When was it last serviced and what did you/they change?

    Checked the gearbox oil?

    Have found the cause, hose running from exhaust manifold to carb was split causing her to run lean.
