Some Chevrolet Spark owners report experiencing acceleration issues due to several common causes, including a clogged air filter, dirty mass air flow sensor (MAF), and a clogged fuel filter. Additionally, problems such as fuel pump malfunctions, faulty oxygen sensors, dirty throttle bodies, worn spark plugs, and clogged catalytic converters have been noted. If the check engine light is illuminated, some owners recommend using a code scanner to check for trouble codes stored in the powertrain control module (PCM). Moreover, timing issues in the engine, such as faulty crank or cam sensors or a jumped timing chain, may also contribute to these acceleration problems. It is crucial for owners to address these potential issues promptly to ensure optimal performance and resolve any underlying problems effectively.
