Even an XSI is relatively quick. So id rule it out being an XSI engine.

Timing or coilpacks possibly.

remove belt cover, turn engine over till cams line up, fit pins, check to see if crank will pin up, more often than not wont due to the pulley slipping, but if the woodruff key is inline with the base of the block it wont be far off.

Take cam belt cover off and see if everything flies out if.

i have the receipts from the guy i bought it from and the cam belt was done less than a few k ago... maybe the garage was s**t and did it wrong?

I think i'll get some new plugs anyway.. What are we talking cost wise to replace the coilpacks?

A good service? Small leak from the exhaust?

How are you driving it?

They do need revving to make them feel quick not a lot of torque to pull you through gears

Peak power is just over 6000rpm,so you need it up there through the gears to make it go well

How can you say more than enough torque

You need to rev them to make them go,no good sticking your foot down if the revs are too low/your in too high a gear cause they won't pull the skin off a rice pudding

If Pablito is driving it like a diesel it will feel how he describes it below

I tend not to rag the bollox off her.. but even when i do, and I'm changing up and around the 6k mark, she still seems slow off the mark.. and not terribly responsive to throttle change

I know I am spoiled really as my other car is 300ZX TT which is pushing 400bhp but my mate took the 6 out for a spin too and he said it felt flat to him. He drives a jordan civic.

Make sure you don't have a brake caliper sticking. They can be buggers for it. Front or rear.

As for the missing, compression test it. Then look into the plugs and coilpacks.

Thanks 3k, that is a kind offer, I pm'd you.

Ok.. Update:

The belts seem to line up fine. We did a compression test and all coilpacks were spot on.. no lost compression. We swapped the spark plugs since we were there anyway... She runs a little better but still feels sluggish.

My friend and i did a couple of timed 0-60s and they were all around the 7ish second mark which is in line with book times i believe... BUT she still feels sluggish and unresponsive down low.. for example in 2nd gear at 2-3k rpm and i floor the peddle.. she just doesn't pick up very quickly and not at all what i expected.. All my past hot hatches (and I have had a few over the years including golf GTis, Clio 16v, Saxo VTS etc) have always seemed "eager" and feisty when given the beans...

There is oil in the intake and in the throttle bodies. Upon checking the oil levels.. it is WAY overfilled!!

So.. an oil change is in order and let the rest burn off for a few weeks and maybe this will help as it is probably having to burn off all that oil either before or during burning the fuel.

I rechecked the last MOT and it does mention a small exhaust leak, but you cannot hear any blowing or anything..

I dunno.. it just feels slow
