anyone have the bog/lag problem on your 06 or 07 when taking off from stop? my car bog/lag for 1 to 2 sec after i fully let off clutch and floor it in first gear, even with vsa off. it does it even longer with vsa on. this bug the crap out of me, my 05 didnt have this problem. who have an 06/07 that don't have this problem?

 

Yea, I got that from a hot day or with A/C on by taking off around 2rpm and letting the clutch goes too fast. I found out to have it not lag by start taking off at 3rpm and letting go of the clutch slowly. Otherwise if you take clutch off quickly it will bog/lag.. Which I hate it so much.

 

iKMTi, do u do it with vsa on or off? i wonder if there is a way to have vsa off completely or have it off when i start the car and if i want it on, like a rainy day i can turn it on? i hate having to push that button every time i get in the car.

 

I have it too. Notice it with the VSA on and off. Hopefully my issue is related to the CEL that came on only 100 miles after I bought it. Apparently I was told it's a TSB with the primary O2 sensor.

When I scanned it, that's what it says. Weird.

 

^the bog has nothing to do with that CEL for the O2 sensor. there was a thread a couple months back about this. i really cant explain it, but it has something to do with the ecu, and the way it controls the engine between the 1 to 2 shift and starting off the line. i know for me, i can avoid it, like mentioned above, by keeping the revs higher. if i shift from 1st to 2nd in the lower rpms, i will experience this bog after letting the clutch out...but if you keep the rpms above 3-4, you wont/shouldnt feel it. same with starting off from a stand still.

 

I notice the same on my 07, if i start off normally/slow and all of a sudden give more gas it will bog for a second then surge a bit. I've never turned off VDC and my car is stock.

 

I also have experienced this in my 07, good info.

 

I also noticed this, but I thought it was the DBW since the throttle is controlled electronically.

 

Don't AP2's also have a clutch delay valve?

 

Yes. But I'm guessing they've implemented this ECU guard in addtion to the delay valve since bypassing it or removing it is fairly commonplace.
