lag when accelerating hard
Tuesday, July 18, 2006 9:17 AM
whenever i accelerate hard from the stop there's a lag til about 30-40 km/h. feels like it's struggling to shift into gear. i replaced my tranny fluid not so long ago, and i had my tune up done as well... can anybody tell me what the problem is??

i wasn't sure whether to post it here or in "transmission" forum, so i posted it here and there.

Did your tune up consist of plugs, wires, and coil packs? May also be a sensor. Is your check engine light on? How many miles are on the engine and transmission?


I root for the underdog...figured I might as well be one

Could just be that it runs lean for a bit and then richens up and you get power. Having a wideband, I can now see that is what happens when my car "lags."
