Car lost it's speed

After the mechanic overhaul the engine, the car could not pick up speed. I have a vitara v6 with five doors and it is a 2004 model. My mileage is only 8000 kilometres. What could have gone wrong?

    There is no way to know what the technician that worked on your car did wrong, return the car to him and have him fix his mess up.

Loss in engine power, sluggish responses, low top speed, etc.
If your car has
  1. Poor fuel responses
  2. Lost its "power"
  3. Low RPM
  4. Lower top speed
  5. Burns a lot of fuel
Then it could be because of carbon build-ups in your engine's combustion chamber. This is left behind with unburned fuel. It causes poor acceleration, a loss in power, lower top speed, and burns more fuel than it really has too. Not to mention causes smoke belching.

The best way to get rid of that would be to have a carbon ridding solution injected into the combustion chamber. The solution will liquify the carbon and other build-ups, which would then restore the "power" of your car. You'll get better acceleration, higher rpm and top speed, save fuel, etc. have a mechanic do it for you. It's alot cheaper and faster than having the engine overhauled (overhaul could trigger "loose compression").

2004 Grand Vitara. Warming the car this morning, locked it.Came back with remote and a key and the doors would not unlock.Engine was running with the other key in it. Had to have a locksmith break in. Why...
don't have 2 fobs?
it cam with 2,
and the battery must be good.(for buttons to work on fob)
never run any car with only 1 fob or one key.
or get locked out.
are you saying the metal cut key end (pure mechanical ) failed?

my car has a real key with a a transponder inside .
it can open 2 ways, the keyfob buttons, (takes a good battery)
and the key metal end.

get a spare fob and program it.

Haynes don't cover that engine. I've found a copy of the H25 engine manual which is similar to the H20 engine we have. If you search for SQ416 in google you'll find a copy you can buy or if you're lucky you'll find a free download somewhere like I did!! :-) It has helped me loads.

Ignition on ok,push switch starter,starts ok on one push,butafter some drive you stop the car.To restart the car it drags to start,almost failing,then picks up.What could be the problem?
Check the fuel lines and then the carburetor. Get the services of a good engine mechanic familiar with Honda Accord to overhaul and clean your carburetor. However, if you know how, you may go ahead and do it. Pay attention to the fuel jet nozzles controlling the idle and
running speed of your engine. You may send in your comments via e mail for further assistance.
