Insufficient air or fuel can cause that kind of problem, as can poor compression or a slipped timing belt/chain. Check the simple stuff first, check the air filter and fuel filter. If either is restricted it will affect the performance of the engine. If that doesn't solve the problem, you'll need to go to the next step. Check the linkage to make sure it's opening up all the way. If that still isn't doing it, check compression. Low compression can mean a worn engine or a slipped timing chain/belt. Also, make sure the timing is right and that the injectors aren't plugged. If you have a "check engine" light, the computer is trying to tell you something. If that's the case, borrow, rent or buy a diag scanner and use it to find out what the computer says. If a light is on it could also be a throttle position sensor, oxygen sensor, MAP sensor or any of a number of other potential problems. Even if the light isn't on, it might be a good idea to run a diagnostic test of the computer. Sometimes the computer knows of a problem but doesn't turn on the light, or the light may be burned out.

What is pinned piece?

A pinned piece in chess is a piece that cannot move or it would result in the more valuable piece behind it being captured by the opponent. The pinned piece is not allowed to move due to the risk of exposing the more valuable piece to capture. This tactical situation limits the effectiveness of the pinned piece and can be strategically advantageous for the player pinning the piece.


Did Romans wear wigs?

If a full wig was worn, the hair would be pinned up and back. However the Romans rarely used full wigs; they mostly used hairpieces which were pinned in place and acted either as thickeners or extensions of a woman's hair.If a full wig was worn, the hair would be pinned up and back.
