Feeling sluggish?

AMT92 · 12-14-2009, 04:53 PM

I've been feeling more and more recently as if my car is becoming more slugish. When in D1 the throttle response is off, it doesnt seem to pull as hard either. I also noticed that when accelerating for some reason the rpms seem to lag around 1500-3000 rpm then start to rise smoothly. What gives?

just4kickz · 12-14-2009, 04:56 PM

reset your car? get an oil change?

Gavin@MMW · 12-14-2009, 05:21 PM

Get a BMS lol

that will solve your issue

AMT92 · 12-14-2009, 05:52 PM

I'm due for an oil change in about 4k miles, could that be it? And a bms powerbox is not the answer lol. Should changing my air filter and getting rid of the carbon filter help?

exo-ak-dk · 12-14-2009, 05:56 PM

do you have AT or MT?

Gavin@MMW · 12-14-2009, 06:07 PM

Change the filter, cut out the carbon, do an oil change, if that doesnt work, get a BMS

lol

AMT92 · 12-14-2009, 06:40 PM

What filter should I go with? And its an AT

Gavin@MMW · 12-14-2009, 06:56 PM

I use the K&N drop in, with the carbon cut out, and then modden the stock box blah blah blah.

Go K&N, i havent had any issues at all and it works great

AMT92 · 12-14-2009, 07:01 PM

Do u have a part number? And what do u mean by modded airbox? How's the filter working out? More power or wat?

My car gets sluggish sometimes. I simply perform the automatic transmission reset and the driving improves.

No I dont, just go to K&N's website and enter your car info.. im sure you can figure that out.

The filter works great, no issues. way better then stock you will notice it.

My stock air box is modified, I have a metal tube for it, and secondary inlet of air from the brake duct. sounds good, works good, is good

ohh you mean like that guy metalhead? how is that working out? can you post pics and such?

Gavin@MMW · 12-15-2009, 12:52 PM

I will post some pics for you to check it out, This one is a little more advanced then the others that were done, once I get some time I will take some pics for you.

To start I would just get the K&N and do the carbon, then go from there if you feel the need to

just4kickz · 12-15-2009, 11:47 PM

if its only been 4k since your last oil change i'd say you probably just have to reset the car.

Products such as the aFe intake paired with the BMS PBX will increase your throttle response!
