Summer has definitely hit around here (L.A. county) with temperatures in the high 90's to low 100's. I am now averaging 240F in L.A. traffic. (45min commute 1-way)
I've noticed acceleration is not as lively when the engine runs this hot compared to initial startup in the morning when the oil temp is below 200F. Is this common? Car feels really sluggish accelerating from a dead stop . I notice that I'm having to give her more gas to get her going.
I've got 6 speed manual and no oil cooler atm and just hit 4k miles. I'm hoping this isn't a clutch or fuel injection problem.
