Gas Pedal Delay

DIGItonium · 06-17-2010, 02:09 PM

This is embarrassing to say. While I was in Houston, I briefly drove my gf's mom's Corolla. I nearly peeled out because the throttle was so sensitive, so I kept jerking the car around for a few minutes. With this throttle lag, I see these cars "launch" quicker than mine from the light during normal acceleration. If I give it more gas and delay the shifts, then I end up with unnecessary attention :P

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.

My '04 Touring Coupe reacts immediately to my shoe, Fleming---one of my favorite qualities in my 287hp baby! A 370, with 332 ponies should do even better! Is the problem over, dude?!

Unlike the 2004.5 350Z, the 370Z is not F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S.

WEll its not temp I was pretty cool yesterday when I tried to get a Corvette to race me (lol), floored it and again the delay (really should have downshifited with the paddles). I am pretty sure this is being caused by the delay in the computer to the trottle responce. I believe my RPM's and gears were the same both times this happened. Prob. just need to get use slowley excelrating rather then punching it, at least when using a rolling/moving start, theres no delay when punching off the line.

Think I am going to play with it more this weekend and see if I can pinpoint the RPMs where this is happining.

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

Vegitto-kun · 06-18-2010, 03:20 PM

I don't have this problem. and I have done what? 15000+ miles on it.

the only time it does that if VDC is being a nanny

Zeester · 06-19-2010, 10:39 PM

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.

This is getting stranger and stranger. My 08 G Coupe has no delay, up or down, aside from mass of moving parts which I can live with. The crunchy new Z I tested was lagging uprev in third (say) at 3500 and badly lagging downrev all across the spectrum. A tragic flaw. It's up to Nissan to straighten this out.

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