Gas Pedal Delay

spitfire9200 · 12-21-2010, 02:21 PM

I get this too... in for an update? It feels like if i'm below 1500-2000 RPMs and I floor it the car tries to go forward, halts itself, then finally winds up. It's one of the reasons I want to get rid of the thing. It's unacceptable and annoying. My 350z didn't do that at all, I could launch it no problem.

Your problem sounds like a normal drive by wire issue...you have to gradually depress the gas pedal when you're that low in the rpm's. You're gonna experience the lag when you floor it.

Jeeze. If you aren't experiencing it, you don't know what we are referring to. YES, agreed... it's sluggish in that area of the power band. But it gets WORSE sometimes. It's tolerable normally. But sometimes it just acts up and it absolutely horrendous.

yea... I understand that it would obviously take a small moment for the car to rev up from those low RPMs, but it seriously just stops, then goes. It feels as if the car is slipping on VDC or the clutch wasn't grabbing properly.

Like I said, my 350z didn't do that, my RSX didn't do that, none of my cars do that.

You can almost feel the ECU saying "HOLD ON THERE CHAMP" and cutting power, then suddenly letting up and allowing the car to rev up normally again.

Dude relax. I wasn't even referring to you. Maybe the guy wasn't explaining it clearly from my point of view. All I said was the way he described it sounded like it was DBW.
And FYI before you blow up, I have experienced the problem you are having only once(luckily)
I was driving up a hill and the car wouldn't give me any power, I didn't think I was going to make it up the hill.
So just take a frickin chill pill because we are all just trying to help each other here.
I wasn't even bashing the guy and calling him a dumba$$ or anything.

Sorry, just very very frustrating. Dealer is no help. Nissan Consumer affairs is minimally helpful.

Didn't mean to sound like an a$$ in my last post, I just hit reply before I read it over.
