ACCELERATION ISSUE !!!

[Dr.Zee]

Hello All,I've been noticing something totally weird on J30. While driving starting from a dead stop i've to really floor the gas pedal to accelerate. But early in the morning when the engine is not warmed up it works just fine no problems at all and the transmission shifts perfect !!! Anyone else has ever experienced this issue !!!

Thanks in advance !!!!

Yes, there are several recent threads about just this. Seems to be either that the radiator is blocked with debre or that the knock sensor has failed. Mine was/is the later and it is a royal pain to replace. I am working on getting my car back together right now but I am going to relocate a new knock sensor instead of trying to replace the old one as it is like a 12 hour job.

Pull the codes from the ecu and let us know what you find.Does sound like a Knock sensor issue.Mine was cured by cleaning the crud out between the condensor and radiator.
