Gas Pedal Delay

6spd · 03-12-2011, 07:45 PM

i definitely notice the power drop as the oil temp climbs, but not at that drastic a level. Maybe you guys just suck at driving, haha, j/k!

6spd · 03-13-2011, 08:02 PM

yeah, that ive never had before.

any updates...am having this problem now...Feels like the car is accelarating out of 1-2nd gear using 5 or 6th...its happens only after a drive and the car is warm...fresh and cool in the AM it feels good. I also noticed that the exhuast note changes when it starts doing this...gets louder....feels like the car is losing "acclerating pressure" if that makes any kinda ******* sense...when this happens i starting hitting the throttle repeatedly 6-7 times in a row within 2 secs or so and it kinda corrects itself but still feels diff. I'm one of those people that has ZERO patience for BS like this, especially when there is no code or obvious specific factor....if this doesnt come to fix soon am trading...getting a KIA and procede to save for a GTR

FWIW, intake air temps climb dramatically when you sit traffic in warm weather. Even in 40F weather, my IATs can go up to 140F. On a hot summer day, my guess is they go even higher and that really hurts performance leading to this 'lazy' feeling when driving around town.

This problem is exacerbated in the D.C. Metro area due to the high levels of hot air coming out of Washington.

i thought there was poor traction in the DC area due to the high amounts of

Well that's the issue I am having with the 5.0 right now.

Dude i was at the FORD yesterday looking into a white 5.0 base...they didnt have a 3.7, and they didnt want to give me enough for my trade, but i was sooo close to doing it....if they would have offered me another 2k for my Z i would have been all over it. Ever since this throttle gas pedal delay crap started i've been exploring my options...lol ...i had juust made peace with the high oil temps...now this....i may just got super chaep, get a kia, and save for a monster

Anyone drive a 350z after their 370z? The 350z feels so good as far as gas pedal goes....it does what its told....it puts the lotion on its skin.

Nope I would not go back to my 350. My buddy even has a newer 350 than I traded in and i still love the 370 more. Just gotta learn to drive It. It drives differently. However i am not experiencing the same problems as some others are

I had something interesting happen today, hopefully relevant. I was on my way back from the grocery store, and got a code. Hooked up my reader, it says "catalyst system efficiency below threshold". After talking to a couple people and reading online, consensus is that it's either O2 sensor(s) or catalytic converter. Since O2 sensors are directly related to fuel delivery, I hope there is a relationship to the throttle response problem. However, I have almost 40k miles, so I've passed the 36k warranty. So my guess is that they are going to say no, it's not a warranty fix. IF that's the case, F**K them, this car is GONE. No reason for EITHER of these to go bad with less than 100k miles.

Easy, federial law requires the maker Nissan to keep your car in emission standards for 50K. Dealers dont want you to know this, it includes cats, O2, and any codes related to them.

Give it a try, I had had friend get a new ECM after the car would not come out of limp home mode. Out of 36k warrenty (under 50K) but could not pass emmisions. Only snag may be the Florida has no state inspection.

Didn't know that, good to know and makes sense! And you're right in that FL doesn't have an inspection, but I'll try to push it. I already have an open record with Consumer Affairs too(not that THAT has helped much).
