Hi, I notice that my 94 SE V6 becomes sluggish recently. Moreover, it is difficult to cold start it. It clanks for a while and almost (and sometimes) die if I didn't step on the pedal. Even if it starts, it jerks and is not running smooth. It chokes and just feels like the oil is clogged. (But the temp is oly 20C!) However, it becomes better after 2 or 3 minutes warm up. I checked the front side (back side is much more difficult to be checked) spark plugs and they all look normal. Gas mileage seems to deteriorate a little but not prominent. What do you guys think the problem is? Can it be one of the cylinders not running? (just my wild guess) Or the HT cable? It used to be a nice car to drive with but now the driveability drops a lot with the missing power. Hope there is someone who can offer some advice. Many thanks. Regards, Alfred
