Hi All,

I have just purchased my first Sportage after seeing my Fathers perform very well over the last 5 years.

I have a bit of an issue though, my fathers Sportage, '99 Short Body, has considerably more power than mine, late 2000 long body. I have taken it in to the dealers and there
are no fault codes and apparently the cat. is ok. New fuel filter was fitted but no change.

When I floor it I get high revs but no torque, the difference between the two vehicles is very noticeable, it will maintain a high top speed however (i.e. 70mph+). I am taking it back to the dealers tomorrow to beat them with a stick, but if anyone can provide some advice I would appreciate it.

(Not sure if there is any connection but there is a very slight rattle, sounds like the muffler, under my seat under heavy load.)


Cheers

Iain
