Throttle Lag

superpede1 · August 29th, 2007, 07:13 PM

I have an 02 Mustang V6 auto I got from my mom with only 36k on it and honestly it runs like crap. One of the big things thats pissing me off is there seems to be a lot of throttle lag. When I am already moving and I punch it my engines rpms stay the same for a good 2 seconds before it actually goes. This is getting really annoying, any help would be appreciated.

uhh i can only think of like two things...

the transmission might be getting worn down ... or the computer is just a lil stupid... ha but yea are their any other symptoms like bad acceleration from a stand or anything like that??

HMUSN · August 29th, 2007, 08:21 PM

toss a tune on it.

it's a v6 man...

it's not going to get up and move right away

El_Cangri · August 29th, 2007, 08:23 PM

ok... ummm just a Q...

why i'm seing some v6 owners having this prob and everyone recomends a tune.... mine work great as fast as i punch it it goes up and its stock just a true dual exhaust....

i dont mean to be a jerk or anything HMUSN... just asking

Onemanzu · August 29th, 2007, 08:23 PM

... depends if your at like 4k and give it some gas it tends to react a bit...

a tune was what i was thinking ya know?

HMUSN · August 29th, 2007, 08:24 PM

some people can appreciate the v6 for what it is I guess.

not that I am bashing it.

you know me better than that.

a tune can really wake up a car.
and his car is an automatic which makes it worse.

El_Cangri · August 29th, 2007, 08:25 PM

ummm i dont have any throtle lag....

never had any since i got the car

Onemanzu · August 29th, 2007, 08:29 PM

El_Cangri · August 29th, 2007, 08:31 PM

Onemanzu · August 29th, 2007, 08:35 PM

El_Cangri · August 29th, 2007, 08:38 PM

El_Cangri · August 29th, 2007, 08:39 PM

MIRAGE SUX!!!

Onemanzu · August 29th, 2007, 08:40 PM

well at least the battery looks like it can keep going and going and going and going... ha ha

to bad man

El_Cangri · August 29th, 2007, 08:41 PM

yeah.. the battery is really going and going and going.. i think its the only thing that can go....

the motor is all fucked up also... (its a lil bend on the outside but idk cause i cant start the car)

tomzac · August 29th, 2007, 09:45 PM

It could be a number of things. Put the auto in first and go wot while moving. Is there lag then?

You could try running some fuel injector cleaner through it. Spray the MAF sensors with some non-residue electrical componant cleaner (don't touch the sensors though). Change the air filter. Cats might be restrictive.
