How many miles?
Looks like it needs a BG injection cleaning for the injectors and carbon deposit and BG 44K also in the gas tank, possible new spark plugs. What kind of gasoline is available in Kenya? Can you fill with 91 octane?

109,000 miles.
Octane (or so they say) 87, 91 and 95 for Regular, Premium and V Power respectively.
BG cleaners? Google them. Dont know if they are available here. Will look.
Search continues.

In primary school we had PE lessons. Involving jogging on the spot, duck walking, sit ups, standing on one foot etc.
Towards end of lesson the teacher would say, " Dismissed!"
On our part we'd scream, "Hurray." And then proceed to run round in circles.
Car running issues refer. Alternator wiring was done wrongly. As a result charging was fluctuating, sometimes high, sometimes low. The wiring was resolved and...
Though EML has remained on, it has stopped flashing on and off at above 3000 revs
The hunting, revs going slightly up, then down, then up, then down...and same to engine sound does the same. Up, down, up, down...has stopped.
I have more power going uphill, while on flat ground, acceleration is much better.
HDC system fault doesn't come on any more.
Small wins, feels like a ...Dismiss...Hurray... Moment.
Thanks all for the advice.
