| Description of the problem | Sometimes, the car from a stand still or low speed (below 10-15 mph) has a delay between throttle input and actual acceleration. This delay of acceleration has caused many close calls for accidents and/or sudden braking needed because of over acceleration. Between my research on this issue and experiences with this, i can reliably reproduce this issue. But due to the nature of this issue, without proper documentation equipment, i cannot provide any concrete data (besides other data provided by various source with professional equipment.) |
