Re: Sluggish Kizashi
well I think i figured out my sluggish issue. It's as simple as gas. I've used shell mostly for years in my last two cars and they ran great on it. Well it seems my Kizashi doesn't like Shell even though it's good gas. I switched to Chevron last week and noticed an immediate difference. My mileage j...

Re: Gas and Ethanol Content
Thanks for the recommendation. We only have Shell and Chevron stations mostly in my area. I can only think of one BP station in the area. I normally use Shell. I'll try Shell's 93 the next time I fill up.

Re: Gas and Ethanol Content
Has anyone tried Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner in their Kizashi to improve gas mileage or performance? Is the Kizashi's compression ratio considered high at 10:01 or is that normal for today and still using regular gas. Has anyone tried higher octanes?

Re: Sluggish Kizashi
Well they reflashed the transmission and said no codes came up on the engine diagnostic. So I'm not sure what to do from here. I've tried all types of Gas and it still drives the same. Also my fuel milage hasn't gone above 19.

Re: Sluggish Kizashi
I have an appointment scheduled for Monday. I'm at a lost for what's causing the issue. I thought about disconnecting the battery to clear the ECU to see if that would help, but decided I rather keep any data that might help the technician diagnose the problem. I'm getting 21 mpg right now which is ...

Sluggish Kizashi
A week and a half ago my Kizashi started driving sluggish. I thought it was possibly bad fuel (I use Shell and Chevron only). I refueled but that didn't solve the issue. So I had the oil changed at about 1800 miles...still no change. Take off is fine, but when the RPMs hit 3000 normally the car gain...
