Reduced engine power over time in Suzuki Alto can be caused by several factors:

Worn-out Spark Plugs: Over time, spark plugs degrade, leading to inefficient combustion, which reduces engine power.
Clogged Air Filter: A dirty o r clogged air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, reducing performance and power.
Fuel Injector Issues: Faulty o r clogged fuel injectors can result in uneven fuel distribution to the engine, leading to a loss of power.
Low Compression: Worn-out engine components like piston rings o r valves can cause low compression, which affects engine performance.
Exhaust Blockage: A clogged exhaust o r catalytic converter can reduce exhaust flow, causing the engine to struggle.
Solution: Regularly replace spark plugs and air filters, check and clean fuel injectors, and ensure there are no exhaust blockages. If power loss persists, an engine compression test may be necessary to diagnose internal issues.
