2011 MN Sluggish Acceleration

Postby s3ca on Mon Mar 26, 2018 2:15 pm

Hi All,

I have recently purchased a 2nd hand triton mn diesel auto 75k kms.

Car runs well except on take-off where it feels very sluggish. 2nd gear in particular.

If I put the foot down, no real increase in acceleration and occasionally I will receive a delayed high burst of speed.

3rd - 4th gear normal.

The odd puff of black smoke out the back as well.

Any tips?

Can get a throttle controller to help it off the mark. Doesn't increase power but definitely helps.

I've had mine on for almost a year now and I haven't taken it off the highest setting.

As always is the inlet manifold clean?
