M271 a little down on power
Zero stored codes in the OBD. Starting and idling well. Maintenance items are reasonably recent, nothing really close to its change interval (i.e. plugs, fuel + air filters). Fuel economy might be a BIT down, but there could be a cause/effect thing there where my foot is pushing a little harder to compensate for being down on power. Brakes are all free and not dragging. Car currently has 219K km.

So there's nothing apparently WRONG, the car just seems to be a bit sluggish these days. Anything I can check, clean, replace, etc? Suggestions appreciated...

Thanks!
KP
