Guys have you ever had the problem where there are sometimes times when your car does seem to pull in first or second. And i dont mean at the high end of the rev range, but at the lower end. I know thats not where the power comes from.

BUt before this happens i get a slight judgder (almost borderline on kangerooing) and then when i apply the power it just doesnt want to pull.

Use only Tesco's 99ron in the car and had it recently services (27K). I had the throttle cabled tightened which made a HUGGEEEE difference. But i am worried something might not be right...

Any suggestions.

 

Some good info here:

I have bben suffering similar problems, useually in 3rd and 4th between 3500 and 6000 rpm, you put the foot down and while the revs climb, there is no change in speed, feels dead.

I drop into neutral blip the throttle and try again, it has become somewhat regular on mine, I expect a sensor (lambda or MAP) is the issue.

 

Could be heatsoak,i had this on my old MY00,i pulled away from a traffic light in the summer sunshine and the car just went flat for about 3 seconds but as soon as the engine sucked in some cooler air it was fine.I think all S's do it at sometime or another..I dont think its anything to worry about just a pita.

The experts will give you more advice in a minute im sure,

 

this is impossible unless there is a problem in your drive train such as your clutch slipping.

Do you mean NO change in speed or slow to pull off with slow rise in revs?

The other issues are more than likley heatsoak. I have never had this problems but many who have have fixed it with a cold air intake (CIA) suck as K and N gen ii or aem or a radmat (try a search and you will come up with loads).

 

Heat soak as bandit says. The S2K is utter shit at diving in busy traffic, in hot or cold weather.

 

well i mean its just slow to pull off... i guess it could be heatsoak, cant remember if i had the problem during the cold winter days

 

I have never had a problem with mine

 

Is yours stock? Otherwise, what have you done to it?

 

You're must have a different method of getting air into the engine then. Even with a snorkle, mine kangarood like a bastard in traffic, and was lethargic for a few hundred yards till all the stale hot air had been purged from the engine bay.
