i have a feeling you are refering to the "lagging/insentivity/insufficient response" of the eletronic throttle ...

 

i suggest 2 things you can do ..

 

a) reset the TCU .. follow the steps here ... http://www.sgmerc.com/topic/4850-reset-ecutcu-steps-for-your-throttle-response/

 

even better ...

 

B) Get a throttle response device which uses electronic to make your throttle more responsive.

 

hope this helps

 

cheers

Thx ...

 

The blistein pro 12 is harder than the stock suspension but gives you confident to take bends .. 80 km/h around gentle 90 degree bend is no problem for the suspension. i love the bend at PIE exit (towards changi airport) towards bedok north ... up hill right bender .. very stable ... shiok

 

i do about 300 km per half tank generally ... 10 or 10.5 litres per 100 km

Hi folks.. Anyone knows what's wrong when the accelerator stops functioning?

Just now started the car, engine running but accelerator got no response no matter how I step on it.

Something got chocked or spoilt somewhere?

Hope it's not going be a costly repair...

Edit.. 5 minutes later tried again and it works.. Wierd.. Any idea what can be the issue?
