Forté's Technical Helpline receives over 300 calls per month. This blog shares solutions for garage workshops on common driveability concerns that can be quickly and effectively treated. The vast majority of those identified are caused by fuel and oil borne contamination formed by natural degradation or via the combustion process. This is a fact of life for internal combustion engines where fossil fuels and oils are used.

Problem with a Chevrolet Lacetti 1.6l 16V 2006 9K
Lack of power and misfire, management light on fault code stored for cylinder misfire, suspect fault due to sticking valves.
The fault was cured by carrying out a 45 minute Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush, adding Forté Top End Treatment to the new oil and Forté Advanced Formula Gas Treatment to the fuel tank.
The customer reported that after a few days the misfire had stopped and the car had never run so smoothly.
