Otherwise car is fine. Fuel average is 17+/liter. Sir, first of all I have done complete tuning and catalytic converter, cleaning through acid. I also checked fuel motor and all sensor like o2, crank, gear shiftier, throttle body, coil wires and spark plug. Above mentioned sensor replace other one, one by one also, but still issue, but on smooth foot car also gone 170 per km per hour with out any problem when press accelerator hard then problem occurs or when on uphill place. Other wise every thing is okay.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

Is the check engine light staying on while the engine is running? Have you confirmed the fuel pressure is within the manufacturer's specs? When you go up hill or press harder on the accelerator, it requires more fuel. It may still be the fuel pump, a fuel filter, or other fuel related issue.

Next, how was the catalytic converter cleaned? Here is a link that discusses fuel pressure testing:

Start with that. Also, if the catalytic converter is partially plugged, it can cause driveability issues. Read through these links:

Let me know if this helps. Also, if the check engine light is staying on when the engine is running, scan it to retrieve diagnostic trouble codes.

Here is a quick video showing how a scanner works:

Let me know what you find.

First of all I m grateful for your kind response. My catalytic converter is clean by mechanics which removed from engine and clean with acid. And also mechanic change fuel pump with other one and also change fuel filter inside fuel tank. But now I will try with your provided guidance I will tell all that procedure to my mechanic. And then I will reply you. And also I want to tell you there's no check light. Before catalytic converter cleaning only check light comes but on obd2 scanner show o2 p code p0136. But now everything is okay.
