A clogged air filter restricts airflow to the engine, resulting in:

Reduced acceleration

Increased fuel consumption

Poor throttle response

Black smoke emission in severe cases

Many Karvaan users report power loss, engine hesitation, o r misfiring due to air-fuel imbalance. In personal experiences, these symptoms often disappear immediately after filter cleaning o r replacement, confirming the direct link.
