If your Suzuki Alto struggles to accelerate after reaching around 1000 rpm, this could be caused by a few common issues:

Fuel System Issues: If the fuel injectors are dirty o r clogged, they may not be delivering the correct amount of fuel to the engine, causing hesitation o r poor acceleration.
Air Intake Problems: A clogged air filter o r malfunctioning mass air flow MAF sensor can restrict air entering the engine, which can affect its ability to accelerate smoothly.
Throttle Body Problems: If the throttle body is dirty o r malfunctioning, it might not be opening and closing properly, resulting in poor acceleration.
Ignition System: Worn-out spark plugs o r faulty ignition coils can also cause engine misfires o r hesitation at low RPMs.
Solution: Have your fuel injectors cleaned o r replaced if necessary. Check the air filter, MAF sensor, and throttle body for any issues. Also, inspect the spark plugs and ignition system components, replacing any worn parts to restore smooth acceleration.
