Car Can't Climb Hill, Engine Power Is Low.......pls Help by leo083: 3:44am On Oct 06, 2015 |
Hello house, @ Siena, @ ikenna. I drive a mazda6 2007 sedan, I noticed that the ca r does not accelerate like before and the car capacity is kinda low. When I slow down while going up a hill the car can barely move, it wouldn't just move, it's worse when the AC is on. I had to reverse to a plain surface then start moving again. I checked the plugs it was ok. I went to my mecho. He said the car engine is "low" that he' gonna high it but he checked but said he didn't see where to high it, he said may be it'll correct it self later .. Pls urgent help needed cos it is quite embarrassing... Note: I recently changed my top gasket and timing belt was adjusted cos the car could not do "slow" as they call it |

In situations like this, I will advice you go back to mechanic or another one to check your car fuel pump. I guess is not supplying enough fuel when is ascending hills. Is either fuel pump is choked or it need replacement. Another thing is, does ur vehicle back fires as in making some sound like the engine wants to go off. And again does the sound obstruct ur car movement. Another fault that can be trace to this kind of situation is when ur gear is pack off gradually. This may not be accompanied with back firing sound I mentioned above. It may gear then later it will not be selecting as expected that's if its auto transmission. I ll advice to take youe vehicle for propare diagnose. Thanks |

My little question, why did the mechanic decide to readjust your timing. Did he design the engine or does the manufacturer tell you to do such an adjustment. Meanwhile run a scan on your engine to get.The fault codes. Also how is the noise of your engine, your exhaust could be blocked or the timing belt adjustment has kept your valves open thereby reducing your cylinder compression. |

When I changed the top gasket , the mecho started the car and she started, but didn't run "slow" he drove the car around may be it'll auto adjust itself but it didn't. He had to use a diagnosis kit. Which brought p0011 "A" camshaft position - Timing over-Advanced or system performance. That was when he adjusted the timing belt and the car could do "slow". But ever since then I have been having the challenge of not enough capacity to climb hil and the engine capacity seems low.. This is my 4th year of using the car and it's been doing good up until now. Pls urgent help needed... I don't even know what p0011 means. Thanks |

Causes of P0011, A P0011 DTC trouble code may be caused by one or more of the following: Incorrect camshaft timing Wiring problems (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve control solenoid system Continuous oil flow to VCT piston chamber Failed timing valve control solenoid (stuck open) Read more at: http://www.obd-codes.com/p0011 Copyright OBD-Codes.com. So I think you should get your mechanic check you timing and properly set it well. Then let him inspect your vvt. |
