Poor engine performance and poor fuel economy 2000 Accord 4-cyl
Hey guys.
I'm pretty new to these forms but i read them all the time. I have a 2000 Accord LX 4-cyl. It has 123,000 miles on it and runs great. I do regular maint myself oil, coolant, etc. However the past couple months i have been receiving poor performance and bad fuel economy. The engine has a smooooooth idle, its so good I can put a wine glass on the valve cover and it wont move. When the engine is completely warmed up the RPM's are just at 800. I just replaced the spark plugs this morning with NGK G-Power the same ones as before. New plugs didnt do anything new. Still slugish! I have also ordered new wires only because they are the originals and it is time for them to be replaced. What could be the problem for such poor pick up and gas milage?
Thanks

Does the check engine light come on while driving? You may want to get the codes read at a part store like autozone and post the results on here. Codes start with the letter P and have four numbers, i.e. P1234.

You do realize you've responded to a thread over four and a half years old, don't you?
