    Default Engine Revs

    Hi Guys, this is really hard to explain however I've been noticing that my engine just dosen't sound right. When it's started it sounds perfectly normal however as soon as I place pressure on the accelerator it sounds as though it has not guts (Sounds Droopy). It's driving fine and I haven't noticed any loss of power although the engine just sounds like it's about to give in. Any Ideas? Thanks

    I've had this car since new and it's certainly not normal. It sounds as though the engine is drowning itself.

    Its normal as far as a VZ goes, get a cat back exhaust or something if you wanna get moving a bit faster when you put your foot down, the thing is choked up with 3 mufflers !!! Piss 2 of them off

    Once again I have owned this car since new and only recently has it begun to sound as though it's chocking itself. It's Very Far from normal!

    How are your air and fuel filters? Spark plugs?
