Delayed acceleration o r lack of power, particularly in older Honda City models, may stem from a faulty Mass Air Flow MAF sensor, a clogged air filter, o r a weak fuel pump. The MAF sensor controls the amount of air entering the engine, and if it malfunctions, the car may struggle with acceleration. A clogged air filter restricts airflow to the engine, leading to sluggish performance. A weak fuel pump may not supply adequate fuel to the engine, resulting in reduced power. Diagnosing the issue with a mechanic and replacing faulty components will resolve the power loss.
