Gas Pedal Delay

Are some of you kidding me? 2 sec delay? Geez. That's right, there is a 2 sec delay in a car that runs 13 sec in the quarter mile.

Its no joke man. Its not a throttle response delay... throttle responds fine but immediately after gassing it the car bogs for 2-3 seconds before violently surging ahead. It feels like VDC is coming on and cutting power almost immediately after you get on the throttle. It happens anywhere below 4,000 rpm.

You are driving a high revving V6, it's going to feel sluggish at the low RPM. My Prius felt stronger than my Z down low, but that is definitely not the case as verified by my datalogger

Again.. it's *NOT* that. When the car is "normal" it's a linear feeling. With this problem, it's not linear in the least bit. You go from starting to accelerate, to *NO* power. Zip, nada, nothing... to an explosion. Like previously stated, it almost feels like VDC is kicking on for a sec.

It's not that AT ALL.

You get on the throttle... the car responds instantly and takes off, only to immediately cut power, throw you forward in your seat (since you're bracing for acceleration), bog for a good 2-3 seconds, then all of a sudden violently take off again. It's got nothing to do with the fact that this is a high-revving V6.

if the engine actually stops and sounds quiet, its fuel cut due to starvtion.

oil temp doesnt effect the car as much as you think. i have a datalogger, car can accelerate just as fast at 270 oil temp vs 220

PERFECT short description.
