- Fuel System Issues: Problems such as clogged fuel filters, a malfunctioning fuel pump, or a faulty fuel injector can cause the engine to lose power.
- Ignition System Issues: Faulty ignition coils or spark plugs can also lead to a noticeable loss of power.
- Air Intake Issues: A dirty air filter or blocked air intake can restrict airflow, reducing engine performance.
- Exhaust System Issues: A clogged or damaged exhaust system can restrict exhaust flow, resulting in power loss.
- Mechanical Issues: Worn timing belts, damaged valve trains, or faulty pistons can all contribute to engine power loss.
- Electrical Issues: A failing alternator or weak battery may disrupt engine performance and cause power issues.
- ECU or Sensor Problems: Malfunctions in the engine control unit (ECU) or sensors—like the mass airflow sensor or throttle position sensor—can also reduce power.
These are just a few common reasons your engine may be losing power. Right Choice Auto Maintenance can accurately diagnose the issue with a comprehensive engine inspection and expert service.
