You can ask any question about your car, suv etc here now am read to answer any question

Good day boss.
I have this 2006 Honda accord v6 (discussion continues). It has a couple of problems and I need help with it.

1. Car seems to loose power. It drives like a weak old 4cyl engine. Some times the throttle will need to be pressed all the way down before the gearbox kicks down. No, the gearbox doesn't slip, it changes smoothly. The engine just doesn't respond as it should. No check engine light. Air filter has been cleaned.

2. When started in the morning, it sounds like it had a leak in the exhaust, but sound normalises as the car warms up. You barely notice the bad sound when fully hot (not completely gone). Car had a bad exhaust gasket, which was fixed. All attempt to find another leak proved abortive. One of the three catalysts is missing in the pot, though pot remains intact (don't ask me how), but the remaining 2 are in very good shape. I don't think the missing catalytic converter is the cause cos catalytic converter is only responsible for emissions, but I might be wrong.

3. The car fails to crank sometimes when the ignition is turned. I just get a click from the engine. I have to return key to 0 and then try again. Sometimes it cranks on the 2nd or 3rd attempt. I was told it was the ignition switch on the steering column because it makes some tiny sparking sound if the key is turned slowly to start. I've replaced the ignition switch, sparking sound is gone, but sometimes it still doesn't start. Could it be the starter packing up?

Any advice will be highly appreciated.

And Also after then go too a professional mechanic too help you check the condition of the oil sir..? if they are in good or bad condition.
