Hi all,

I had the is200 on a dyno yesterday and it showed a 15bhp loss in power.

It's a standard car. Fuelling is fine (according to the tech).

It's now covered 143,000 miles and is 11 years old.

Should I just accept that's what happens, or is the likely something that needs changing? It's had new plugs and filter. My guess would be that after 143,000 miles, changing the cats may bring it back up to scratch.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
John

Thats very good for the mileage on the engine I'd be happy with that .

You should try some redex fuel cleaner and give it a service if not done already.

John, when you had it serviced what sparkplugs were changed, if any?
Do you still get the slight "kick" in the upper rev-range?
