Honda City suddenly has weak pick and feels sluggish what to change after 80k mileage?

[captobm]

I have Honda City 2013 Aspire 1.5 88,000 mileage
For the past few months I have started to feel a drop in pick and it feels like the engine is taking load
Like before it used to have a good pick while staying below 2000 rpm
But now the pick is not as responsive..on a steady pedal while accelerating it often shifts down gear and go to 3000 rpm to increase speed.
Where as before it would speed up flawlessly while staying under 2000rpm
Specially with AC it gets worse.

The car is in good condition and not a single repair work has been done on it.

So I was wondering that the car has run 80k+ Kms without any change of spark plugs plug wires etc.
What can be the reason of pick drop?
What should I service or replace in the car as it has driven 80k kms so a lot of debris and carbon accumulation
Maybe thats is the reason...
Any help would be appreciated

Did u get valve clearance (tappets) adjusted? Spark plugs are also a factor.
What about atf fluid change?

[captobm]

I think so...just tried routine tuning, spark plugs cleaning and things like that...nothing more.

[nomi01]

These are irdium plugs, cleaning damages them.

[captobm]

No atf change as per my knowledge

If you are in rwp/isl you can visit for a chk up at my workshop ignition autos

In Karachi

As per the things mentioned, ur car is due for
Atf change
Spark plug change
Valve clearances
No need to fiddle with cat converter

[nomi01]

For valve clearance make sure to get them adjusted with engine dead cold, head temp below 35 Celsius.
Specs are Intake at .20mm and exhaust at .25mm

Thanks a lot for your time and the info.
Will check these points and ask the mechanic to change the stuff.
Hopefully it’ll bring a positive change.
Much appreciated

Cheap and free way is to do an italian tuneup, Take the car on a highway and rev between 4000-5000 rpms in short 60s time for approx 10-15 minutes.

Ideally, put high octane to clear up more carbon use any fuel additive, gumout, stp, liqui moly etc.

It does need ATF replaced at every 40-50k so youre far off there.

Get the fuel filter changed, the manual states its to be changed at 80k with good fuel and 40k with bad fuel.

In my experience, City is sensitive to petrol quality. Try the reputed pumps RON 97 and I might improve the overall response of engine.

Any reliable place in Karachi to get genuine Honda parts?

[captobm]

It has mostly run on PSO fuel like the rest of the vehicles and on high octane tank full every once a month...
I’ve experimented with fuel and oil..a slight improvement was noticed by changing the oil to Hyundai Xteer as my mechanic uses it.
Other than that it still feels like it’s taking load

[flyingfeather]

In that case its time for servicing.

Calibrate the transmission and throttle after these jobs.

Note down the fuel trims before getting these jobs done. After these jobs, take off battery terminals for 10 minutes to reset the ECU, re-attach battery cables, take the car for a highway drive at 70/80 km/he for a 50/60 km stretch on normal accelerator pedal pressure. Note down the fuel trims afterwards, and share.
