Problem with driving my 99 CL
I have had my car for 3 years now and recently its been driving crappy. it just doesn't seem to pick up speed, wasnt like that before, although i do have the check enginee light on, but i think it's because i put a moffler on the car and i dont have a intake to even it up. meaning i have a lot of air flow going out but not enough coming in. what do you guys think?

its got 81,000 miles, i haven't really done a tune up yet. i got it when it was on 50,000 miles. do you think thats the problem, because some times when i fill the tank it runs pretty smooth...?

Change your plugs, wires, air filter and you should see a little difference. If you havent done these yet, im sure the person before you didnt do them either.

you said that your check engine light is on? well go to autozone and they will pull your codes for free... having a muffler on there will not cause the light to come on

im sure your problem isnt too much air going out and not enough in, you should have gotten a tune up as soon as you got it. How often do you change the oil?
