citroen c5 2.2

Hi when pulling away changing gear car seems sluggish

[cachaciero]

Er......! yes and the question is?

First gear is very short and there's not much there even with the 2.2, its all about the 2nd/3rd gear grunt. You could check the vacuum swirl control valve arm on the right hand side of the engine is functioning, it turns the engine from a 12 valver to 16v at 2200rpm, you should feel a small surge when the revs hit 2200rpm

Fitted a new swirl valve bin told it might be the Maf senser

Check for slack in the accelerator cable, on the right hand side under the fuse box.
