Is there anything that could be causing my V6 to be very slow and somewhat unresponsive? I have new plugs, new air filter, and am running 93 octane Mobil gas yet my car is sloow. It just had both DIC's done under recall as well as a brand new Saab OEM catalytic converter because the bad DIC cooked it. Everyone on here with V6's rave at how responsive they are, especially at speed. I mash the gas and it takes forever to speed up. For example coming home from school today I was following a completely stock 2000ish VW Jetta with the base 2.0 liter 4 cyl. and I couldn't keep up with her going up a moderate hill. My turbo blows blue smoke only when I start it but it should still be functioning, right? It's a 2001 V6 sedan with 167k miles. As far as I know everything is functioning correctly. There are no warning lights or strange noises, other than some valve ticking. I'm also getting terrible gas mileage. Around town the SID says 14.3mpgs right now.
