HI guys. I have noticed low power in my H2 2003 50000miles.
What could it be? Fuel and air filter ben changed. To early for plugs.
Maybe CAT. What you sugestion?

I think you would through a code if it was the catalitic converter. But it could be possible. Take a look at the MAF screen and make sure its clean. Also try a FI cleaner on your next fill up. Deposits on the Fuel injectors is a possiblity. I also replaced my Spark plug wires with some MSD's on my H2 a while back and I noticed a change in response.

Starting point- I would at least check the plugs for coloration and re-gap if needed. Take a look at the chart below, a good diagnotic tool is looking at the plug.

I am probably gonna change the plugs. What model is better? And is it possible to change them my self(i mean accesble)?
One more thing i forgot to tell yestereday is:
When iam driving and making quick stop iam noticing downshift like kicks from shift like 3-2 and 2-1 it depends how fast iam going.
I did use before injector cleaner(GM recommended).
Thanks for help.

I dont know how much power i lost, but definatly when i bought it last year it was better.
What should i use for MAF cleaning. I am in NY so close stores is Autozone and Strauss.
I have couple of more problems but i have to move them to electrical forum.

The plugs are easy to change. Thats a start also if there is a lot of carbon build up it will cause a loss of power.

Just a light application of Carb cleaner should do it. The wires can last a long time. I changed mine at 45 with MSD wires. You can get a set at MTI, a vendor here at HTN for a good price. Just let them know your a member of Hummertech.

Probably I was thinking it was the catalytic's converter that is clogging up. Try a compression check on it as well as changing the fuel filter.
