Unresponsive sack of spuds

Hey guys

 

Wondering if anyone could shed some light on what I think is an issue.

 

Had my zed for almost a year now and loved driving it when I got it but of late it seems to have become unresponsive and heavy feeling, like it's holding back.

 

It's an 04 plate with plenum spacer, cossie filter, sports cats and Gemini. Exhaust. Is there anything obvious I should be checking first? Ignition timing, fuel starvation, plugs? It also smells really rich when I boot it.

 

Any help appreciated!

 

Jim

Is you traction control kicking in at all? Roads are slippy these days.

 

Also with those mods, have you had a remap done?

 

Traction control doesn't kick in.

 

Should have said it's been mapped

 

Surely if it was throwing up a code the eml would be on?

Yeah it seems to be fine mate. That's a good list of things to check I'll make a start on it during the week.

 

I remember on my old 200sx it used to feel similar when the ignition timing was out slightly. Is there anyway it can change on the de engine?

VQ engines are chain driven. Unlikely for the timing to slip.
