the last few weeks i have noticed that when i accelerate the engine isnt catching up with the pedal...does anyone understand what i mean or do i have to explain it some more?

the engine doesnt seem to respond as quick as it did

 

anyone??

 

You got nearly as much help as me

 

lol, i was getting worried for a bit

i gave loads of tips out today and got none back

i might turn into pete

 

It might just need a good service

 

me or the car


i see i got loads of advise for this

PM's must be in the post

 

Post it in Gen tech, you will get sorted out there

 

i cant be bothered now

 

sticking throttle cable possibly??

 

can you offer more than a possibility?

when i put my foot down the engine doesnt respond immediatley. i thought if it was sticking the revs would get stuck. if i go slow its ok, but not when i pull off........................

 

Are you sure it's not phsychosomatic ie it's not just in your mind?? Only other thing I can think of is problem in fuel delivery ie pump or injectors.

 

Maybe your ECUs seen better days but we will never know as we dont even know what car it is. Could be a number of things. Need more details.

 

ive got a classic '01 2.0i sport special if that helps

its only been doing it for about a week

 

snot in my mind its in the car

 

Blocked fuel filter/lines

Pump on the way out

Lack of turbo

 

if it was a blocked fuel line then it wouldnt do it every single time i put my foot down, it would be more intermittant i thought.
its almost like an automatic gear box with the kick down thing

 

Does it still sound the same?

 

You said its fine when you go slow, but when you put your foot down lots more fuel tries to get doen the fuel lines/filter so if it was blocked it might affect this

 

what, as a turbo? or with the accellerator problem?

wouldnt a blocked fuel line also make the car splutter?

 

Did you ever get to the bottom of this throttle lag problem cos I've had the same thing that's been bugging me for ages and nothing I do seems to affect it.

 

Slipping clutch ?????

 

Turbo lag!!!

 

i get something similar in my car. maybe as its a n oldish classic wrx... dunno. seems to take a little longer than expected to spool up... or did until i raped her with a full decat. woop woop... id love to see her on a rolling road now and see whats shes booting out. think my throttle cable is loose however, clould do with a tighten like the mrs.

changing or uprating a fuel pump... is this a big job??

andy.

 

My MY00 classic does the same.

When I blip the throttle there's always a slight delay (1/4 sec ish), then the revs jump up as expected. It's always done it, I thought it was normal and work around it.

Flippin' annoying/stupid though.

 

Wearing platforms?

 

handbag under the accelerator?
