car feels sluggish

myeleanor · June 21st, 2007, 10:05 PM

my 2006 v6 feels very sluggish around 1k-3k where no matter how hard i accelerate the car doesnt want to move but after 3k it will lurch forward and take off. I have no idea what it is...anyone have any tests or things i should look for?

myeleanor · June 21st, 2007, 11:27 PM

WLJohnson05 · June 21st, 2007, 11:32 PM

El_Cangri · June 21st, 2007, 11:33 PM

it could be that thing is controled by the computer go to a ford dealer and tell em.

there has been some cases of the computer having errors making the car like wanting to run for himself (accelerating)

i have a custom cai, new flowmaster 40 mufflers. the idle is normal around 600. no sputterin everything seems normal except the way it accelerates.

El_Cangri · June 21st, 2007, 11:47 PM

buy a tuner

sniper or sct sniper is better IMO

those new gen need a tune for almost every mod..... it could be that

myeleanor · June 21st, 2007, 11:53 PM

yeah i was gonna look into that but it just started happenin and i put the mods in a good 2 months ago and i dont think the ob2 would start freakin out after 2 months...i could be wrong

itschristorres8 · June 21st, 2007, 11:55 PM

Nothing wrong with the car. Just the summer heat could be getting to it.

is possible, but the drive by wires are still a little less forgiving about intake mods could have partial influence
