in a diagnostic including, just as a few examples, plugged fuel injectors, faulty oxygen sensors, fuel pump and / or filter, vacuum leaks including that caused by a faulty EGR system, ignition system malfunctions, bad valve timing if the timing belt or chain is worn or skipped, blocked exhaust (e.g., catalytic converter fails or becomes clogged), a faulty airflow sensor or throttle position sensor, and so forth.
Turbocharger - lag, or «turbo - lag» for short, is the delay
in response between when the
accelerator pedal is pedal is pressed and when the engine actually responds with an increase
in power delivery.
