R53 not acting right
I need some help guys. I like to think Im decently mechanically inclined but Im struggling right now.
My '03 MCS "R53" has been acting up. Im currently at 178500 miles.
My acceleration has been sluggish when starting from a stop. And onve I get up to speed on the highway or interstate "55 and up" my throttle response has turned to ****. If the road starts going uphill "even a small incline" my speed will drop noticably and will not respond to throttle. I will have to downshift to about 4th and sometimes 3rd to keepfrom getting ran over.
my MPG has dropped immensly as well. I have gone from about 28- 30 MPG to around 18 MPG.
This is my daily and only car so I need some help please Im at a loss.Not sure where to start. Had a light that gave me code for cat but that just went away and not sure where to go now.
