Reduced acceleration is often caused by engine, fuel, o r intake issues, exacerbated by local conditions:

Fuel quality: Low-octane o r contaminated fuel reduces combustion efficiency.

Clogged air filter: Dusty roads in Pakistan can block airflow, restricting engine power.

Spark plugs o r ignition issues: Worn o r dirty spark plugs can cause incomplete combustion.

Engine load: Carrying heavy loads o r frequent stop-and-go driving increases strain.

Preventive measures:

Use high-quality fuel from reputable stations.

Inspect and replace the air filter every 10,000–15,000 km o r sooner in dusty areas.

Maintain spark plugs, fuel injectors, and ignition system regularly.

Avoid overloading the vehicle.
