No lah!! from unker to nephew lah!!! I'm much younger!!! Hahaha!!
Traveled to KLIA2 and Back with 110km/hr all the way but the engine response remains sluggish!!!
I drove my friend's City yesterday-his 1.5 liter engine is more responsive than my 2.4 liter engine!!!
Shall I :
1) clean the TB and the injectors??
2) send back to SC for engine tuning??
Kindly advise!!
Yup, then you need to do some cleaning and tuning already. TB, last clean how long ago? Injectors I think no need.
What about your fuel filter? you mention not changed since new and already 123k km. Probably fuel filter stuck, change that first and see how it goes....Mine at 40k km already quite dirty, yours at 123k km should be almost stuck....

The TB had never been cleaned before!!!
I hesitate to replace the fuel filter because to access to it I'll have to remove all my amp racks, sub box etc and it will be a big profect for me!!

Brother, at 40k km already will be quite dirty. At 123k km must be very dirty. Moreover once it is too dirty fuel feed will be choked then your car will jerk. Possible some dirt gets through and then your injectors will get stuck then more work as need to clean injectors some more.
I DIY clean my old Hyundai TB which also was not cleaned before. But to me, not much effect on performance even after cleaning even though it was very dirty...

Bro. a million thanks for the detail sharing, appreciate.
Will go to the ICE shop to dismantle the ICE stuff and have the fuel filter replaced soon.

My next question, where is your fuel filter location?
As far as I know, some are in engine compartment, some are under the car, some under the car at the fuel tank and some are in the fuel tank under rear seat.
So, why you need to dismantle your amps? Those should be in your boot, right?

Unlike my previous Camry with the fuel filter in the engine compartment, the one in my Accord is at the rear boot just beneath the sub-woofer box!!!

Honda engineers never expect people to fully load the boot with amps......
