2009 with 11,250 miles. It is not a temperature problem-happens well below 220.

Ive lately noticed this happening to me too. Ive got an 09 with 13k miles on it... definately laggy around 2-3k and then a sudden surge in power, always thought it would be the oil temp but it does it below 220 too.

Same thing on my 08 G37 Coupe 6MT, put your foot down. Car starts, pauses, then accelerates.

Vegitto-kun · 06-20-2010, 08:47 AM

mine is a 2009 doesnt seem to do it

Stab your throttle real quick and back off in netural, you will see the noticeable lag

Jordo! · 06-20-2010, 10:17 PM

Hmm. Sounds (anecdotally, anyway) like a more common issue with 09's. Nissan might have made some sort of minor update to the TPS logic on the newer ECU's.

I wonder if it's a problem in the first batch of 09's and was corrected mid way through -- any TSB's on that?

Well, fwiw, seems like we are talking about a couple different things here. One is throttle input lag, the other is where the car responds to throttle input but doesn't accelerate.

Agreed. I have an early '09 with 24k+ miles on it, and I notice a slight lag if you stomp it and let off. But the other problem being addressed is a SERIOUS lack of response. I have never seen that on mine. I had an '07 350, that was VERY responsive.

All Toyotas I have driven do this as well. Even my car has the same problem y'all are mentioning. My mom's '08 F-250 does this HORRIBLY. If you floor it while moving, it will take a good 5 seconds for anything to happen.... I don't think this is just a 370Z thing.

Don't seem to have any lag.
