Do you know where to find the torques for those things by any chance?
I'm guessing the one for spark plugs is in the manual but I wouldn't know where to look for the others

Spark plug torque is 25 Nm (2.5 kg-m, 18 lb-ft)

Thanks I hope someone knows the other ones because I didn't find them yet

Sorry nevermind I found a proper repair manual on here
So throttle body is 12nm
PCV is 2,5nm
MAF is 0,9nm

Although I think I'll keep some of those on during cleaning now that I saw the positions

Hey @TB16 , so i was wondering if your kizashi has any error codes? Perhaps a bad O2 sensor (that my car has)? This may help us diagnose the delayed response, as it may be related to the O2 sensor. Thanks.

By error codes do you mean CEL on the instrument display? I'll be taking the car for service next week. Will update post that.

Yes, a check engine light, a blinking warning triangle and a 'service engine' message on the Mid display. Okay do update after the service. Thanks.

So I got my kizashi serviced from an authorized dealer here in New Delhi. I've attached the service bill (relevant to Indians only i think). Will be posting a detailed description about it soon. Let me know if you have any questions in the meantime.

Fascinating to read that invoice. Especially where they charged you $68 for the wrong oil.

Thank you for uploading the image! helps to sort some doubts out. Is the throttle response better now? what did the service center term as the culprit? a throttle body gasket I think?

They were clueless and kept saying it is normal for these cars. This is probably the last time I'm taking my car to the dealer for service. Will be starting my search for a good reliable garage near me.

The throttle response now is a little better but there is still some play. I think I'll have to live with it.
