or want to just increase my speed or go up hill.

I have a 2012 dodge caliber sxt and I know that the fuel system needs cleaning so i put in a bottle of tecron and filled it with premium fuel and seems as though it is getting worse. Any ideas? I was thinking of using some of lucas upper cylinder lubricant with injector cleaners and fuel conditioners.. Thank you for time

How old is the fuel filter? Is fuel pressure correct? What, if anything, do codes and freeze-frame data show?


So I don't know how old the fuel filter is I just recently purchased a car on a private sale it's probably needs to be changed I'd imagine the air filter is pretty good actually there are no codes I don't have a scan tool that shows freeze frame and I don't know if the pressure is right

Including what @chucktobias said, I'd look at some basics -

air filter, clean MAF sensor, spark plugs, etc.


Yeah I just recently purchased it a few months ago I haven't really had a chance to go through the two months with it yet the air filters pretty clean it's almost new I think by the looks of it I know the cabin air filter needs to be replaced which I'm doing today
