Hi guys, new here. I wanted to find out if you can give me an idea on why my car listed above model C is not performing like it should. It feels as if something holding me back (sluggish), and it is a bit heavy on fuel. I recently done the head gasket and service what could be the problem I read a lot of the fuel pump relay?

Hello,

It sounds like the MAF sensor has gone bad which is a common problem. But first check for trouble codes and then you can try cleaning the sensor first but that sometimes does not work.
