Is a Clogged Air Filter Causing My Suzuki Bolan to Struggle with Acceleration?

My Bolan is having trouble accelerating, especially when I need to speed up quickly o r climb hills. Could a clogged air filter be the cause of this sluggish performance? How does this issue affect the engine’s overall performance, and how often should the air filter be replaced in Pakistan’s dusty environment?

Yes, a clogged air filter can cause sluggish acceleration and poor engine performance. The air filter ensures the engine receives clean air for proper combustion. When it becomes clogged with dust, dirt, o r debris, airflow to the engine is restricted, which reduces the engines power output. In a dusty environment like Pakistan, where air quality can be poor, this issue is common in older Suzuki Bolan vans. A clogged air filter can also cause increased fuel consumption and poor engine response. You should replace the air filter every 10,000–15,000 kilometers, o r sooner if you notice acceleration issues.
