hesitation when accelerating at low speeds

[Ruppstar]

WOW! I tried this reset today and it made a major difference! I'm very happy now.

So why does a car owner have to go through this "re-calibration"? Its not as if this car is a "DIY" car! Arrghh..It looks like you got to watch for every sound, hesitation, light etc... when do we get to enjoy the car without all these hassles?

Hey, at least we CAN recalibrate some stuff and not get stuck with the factory settings all designed (primarily) with cost effectiveness and economy considerations rather than actual performance.

wow i have had my C for a week now and i noticed the same problem, i just went and did the recalibration and there is definetely a diffrence. YAY

[urbanchemist]

maybe this item should be put up on a sticky. it seems like a lot of people are dealing with this problem and there seems to be a quick and easy fix. i have only driven my car for a few minutes since i have dont the fix but i see a definite diffrence. YAY

Without a doubt it makes a huge difference. The throttle response is now instant, perhaps because of this the tranny does'nt seem to think for a split second or two.

Yep, weeks later and it still amazes me how that simple a process can make you feel like you are driving a new (different) car!!

Well, not quite a sticky, but I just put a reference to it in the FAQ/TECH forum...

Thanks jjs... I actually was doing some editing on the procedure to make it a bit more clear, to answer some of the ??'s that repeatedly crop up when this subject reappears, and then was going to post the procedure in FAQ as well, you beat me to the punch!

dipster, I absolutely agree with you on this one, but some time ago everyone decided there were too many stickys and I, being the newbie moderator have no idea what the guidelines are for making a thread a 'sticky' around here. I'll see what I can do for you.
