997 Tune Up Needed?
I have a 2006 C4S with 55k miles. For the past weeks, the car has felt sluggish, with the engine revving to 1.2k when it should be idling (At a red light) and sometimes i can smell what i think is sulfur.
I was wondering if need a tune up or if something has gone wrong? By the way, what is included in a tune up? Spark plugs? Oil? Air filter? Cheers, Andrew |

How old is the fuel filter?
Some tuneups get it and some don't. Or your throttle body and throttle plate may have some build up of crud. |

Are you getting a CEL? If it smells of sulfur, your air/fuel ratio may be out of synch. This would not be good for the cats, but should result in a fault code being thrown that you should be able to read. Could be the result of a failing O2 sensor.

No, im not getting a CEL. And the sulfur smell happens now and then, not all the time.
The fuel filter is probably as old as the car (although the car was serviced accordingly and i had the engine replace 20k miles ago due to the faulty cylinder wall issue). |
