acceleration dead spot

[cseverens]

not sure if it's normal, but between 1400-1800 or so rpm, the engine is awful. it doesn't matter if I'm in S or D. anyone else notice that? I do have a tune from torrie, but doubt it's related. it's not from a hard stop. it's if I'm just cruising and press the gas pedal while it's in that range.

That sounds about right.

I think this the rpm range where the ECOBOOST has a very small amount of turbo lag.

Agree....Sounds like it could be you're aware of the very slight turbo lag... Stock tune had my turbos becoming effective about 2100-2200 rpm... When I added the Downpipes the spike in TQ and HP rise on the dyno moved down to 1600-1700 rpms... More pull down low. Again this is all stock tuned... After adding the tune with DP adjustment the low end really pulled.

I have something similar.  If I am cruising at the same speed for a bit and try to accelerate it doesn't respond.  When it happens I can keep the pedal in the same position for like 5 seconds and it still won't accelerate.  Once I let off and push in again it accelerates just fine.

That happened a lot on the 2013 but hasn't happened on the new one at all.

Response/shift logic change, maybe?

well, i ordered ppe downpipes 9/1. manufacturer issues result in me not getting them for another 2-3 weeks still(unreal). hopefully that will help once I have those and the magnaflow x pipe installed in place of the 3rd cat.

I know something changed, I had completely forgotten about it on the old car till this thread.

I know on the old car when it happened it felt like the car was confused the figured it out and off she went.

I think its that winter blend gas,probably be best to send Torrie a log,probably need a tweak in the tune,sometimes they adjust the throttle blade at various points which they close and open slower to keep from having any issues like hesitation.  Z

I wonder if doing a throttle pedal recalibration would fix this. I know there was a how to somewhere on the forum.

Is this where you turn the car on (do not start car) mash pedal to the floor. Let your foot slide off the side of pedal, to allow pedal to raise fast. Turn off the car and wait 30sec. Start car and drive as normal or like you stole it. I did this and throttle responce was better, not perfect, without a tune.

When do they start winterblend gas?  I did just start to notice it in the past month or so.  It's to the point where I am considering detuning and taking it in to the dealer.  If it was the tune I would think I would have always noticed it.

I think BND Bryan said 9/15

Based on this report the (winter blend)gasoline officially started on 9/16/15.  Z          http://www.atlasoil.com/Blog/Winter-Blend-Gasoline-is-on-its-Way Hope this helps any.
