Gas Pedal Delay

DIGItonium · 05-14-2011, 02:47 PM

Let me repost the YouTube video below to show the difference in power with a "cool" and a "hot" engine. Normally this car has plenty of power to move, and it can break loose my 285 Hankooks from roll! After 15-30 minutes of driving in warm weather, I start bogging the gears like a newb as if I'm not giving enough gas to get the car moving. You can see in the video how long it takes to get the car moving in 1st and 2nd from a roll. Pitiful.

I posted the same thing after DIGI did it (though I don't do the moving tests)

Sorry about the post bombing, guys. I also want to reiterate that I had a bad catalytic converter. They SUPPOSEDLY tested the whole exhaust system (O2 sensors, cat, and all). They said the problem was the cat. They fixed that under warranty @40k miles. Then I traded it in that week because the problem was as bad as ever. I was very hopeful off the lot, it felt amazing. But alas it came back.
