Car very sluggish especially when engine hot or in jam.
ironheart:
When driving off from cold start, the car is very responsive but as the engine gets warmer, it becomes very sluggish.
And at times, it takes a long while to react after I step on the accelerator and the rpm builds up very slowly.
Sometimes I even have to lift my foot off as the rpm doesn't react, seems like no fuel going into the engine and step again before the rpm is willing builds up.
This is becoming dangerous because I got stuck a few times while turning at junction or in heavy jams, with the car crawling like a snail refusing to build on rpm.
I have observed that it only happens when the engine is hot.
Anybody face this problem before? Thanks
I have changed the plugs, air filter, engine mountings, ignition coils, clean throttle body, cvt fluid change, etc but the problem still persist.

My Yr05 latio sport CVT also has the same problem....so far even TCM also cannot detect any fault based on consult disgnostic result...so LLST.....rpm increases but speed dun...
It is so bad that even going up MSCP is also frightening as the car refuse to climb fast eg. IMM carpark, Taka carpark....I even got high beamed/horned many times.....

Perhaps you may want to consider enquirying with our resident mechanic, Kelvin.

I also got similar problem that time and in the end, it was diagnosed that my engine mount was the primary fault.
Beginning of such symptoms, my dashboard got no vibration at all and sluggish from standstill and going up car park slopes.
When it became more serious, my dash board will vibrate at certain times.
After I visited Kelvin, I changed my engine mount and do throttle cleaning + reset the ECU settings.
Right now no more problem but just 2 days ago when I pump Esso 95 after 2 tanks of Esso 98, my engine became slightly noisy with the "klang klang" sound aka knocking sound when accelerating at low speed or going upslope.
Luckily got no performance issue but still remains to be one of Latio's defects when u pump low octance petrol.
Enzoni:
i dun think the engine mounting will cause this, i suppose this problem only occur in CVT latio?
i have encountered a few times and i noticed it happened after i let my car 'roll' for too long in jam or 'balancing' on slope too much meaning engage 'D' gear and let go both accelerator and brake
but it recovered after losing power for a short while, quite scary
