I'm experiencing a momentary low wheel torque condition. From a
complete stop I press on the accelerator peddle to say 20%, the car
will start to move forward and then it will jolt suddenly and then it
will accelerate as normal.
This was a some what random problem, (started after tuning) but it
has done it 5 times in the last two weeks. I could never tell if it
was a miss or a "gear" issue however after it did it to me tonight on
my way home from work, I stopped in my drive way, pressed on the gas it did it. I was able to watch the tack, as the rpm's came up from
idle, the car started to move forward but not as normal, as if
something was holding it back, or was slipping. Then as the rpm's approached 2k, there was a sudden jolt and the car accelerated as normal. It felt as if the engine was not fully connected to the wheelslike I was slipping a clutch as if it were a manual and then I suddenly popped the clutch all the way out passing all of the engine's torque to the wheels.
I have returned the car to the stock program to see if I could
replicate the problem. So far no luck (only one hour drive time). I plan to leave it stock for a couple weeks to see if the problem happens again. In the back of my head, I'm thinking tranny....thoughts?
