Description of the problem | The car bogs down in first gear, this is a manual transmission, car has poor power. This also gives the automatics poor power. The spark plugs are not gapped out of factory. I joined cruzetalk forums and many people had the same problem. 2013 cruze ls mt is supposed to have . 028 gap spark plugs. I took it to the dealer and told them. They returned it in an hour and said they regapped them for me. The problem persisted. I bought the tools and took them out and they were set to . 025, . 021, . 023, . 025. The plugs are way off mark and the dealership lied. I regapped them to . 028 and the car never ran better. |
