Territory reduced engine power

Response delay? Absolutely, it's like there's a solid second before it even thinks about responding. And the idling's been a bit rough too, fluctuating more than usual. You think that points to the throttle sensor going bad?

Sounds awfully familiar. For me, all signs pointed to a defective throttle valve. Given your symptoms, it’s probably best to have it checked at a workshop. If it’s the same issue, replacement is likely the solution.

Thanks a million for the insight! Took it to the shop, and you nailed it – defective throttle valve. New one installed, and she's purring like a kitten again. Total cost 265€ Appreciate the help!

Hey, I had something similar happen on my Territory, though I can't say I've put quite as many kilometers on it as you have. Any issues with engine idling, or a noticeable response delay when you hit the gas? I'm wondering if your air intake or throttle body is the problem.
