I have a 2007 2.3 petrol turbo CX-7 that I have noticed over the past couple months to cough and splutter if I put my foot down and bog down with NO acceleration if I keep my foot down.
Usually the car will take off from a standing start fairly well, but if I need power to accelerate / pass slower traffic, etc, then forget it and it's rather quite dangerous so I don't attempt to pass slower traffic now.
I initially thought it may be a dirty / clogged fuel filter with the car starving for fuel as it needed more to accelerate, so I changed the fuel filter.
Changing the in-tank fuel filter is another story AND I'll add another post about that.
The filter was extremely dirty, possibly never been changed at all.
The car has 105km on the clock.
This made no difference to the cars accelerating performance.
I guess I really do need to take the car to a good tuner and have his scanner read thru the ECU messages.
It could be an issue with O2 sensor although I am NOT getting any engine warning lights.
So basically just wondering if anyone else has had problems with their CX-7 coughing and spluttering and simply NOT accelerating at all when the right foot goes down??
