Running problems, help :(

[Willpot1]

heres the problem, my 2000 reg k11 wont run right, it seems to use loads of fuel and it is really sluggish, i raced it against my dads (completely standard 140k mile)1994 1.3 and he destroyed it, what could be causing this problem? and are the older 1.3s faster than the later "1.4"? i cant thave my dads old one beating my new shiny one so please help

Sluggish you say? AND using loads of fuel?

Just a wild guess, but are your tyre pressures correct?

We did remove the airbox could it be related to this? what could be wrong with the throttle body? thanks

i would try it with the airbox back on then, (i,ve driven a 1.4 with an induction kit on and it had a huge flatspot in the midrange)
and yours is the later bosch throttlebody with a removable maf

we did put it back on i mean we removed it briefly to do some work, could we have broken a seal or something? also what is different about the bosch throttle body? is it better or worse? thanks

dont think you would break anything by removing the air filter box. bosch trottle body is better because you can change the maf sensor.
