Hi All,

I have a little problem with my TL type S. I don't know if this is normal, but accelerting on my TL seems slow, not fast as it like 4 cyl, pick up seems slow

Does anyone know what's the promblem or it's normal?

I heard some people said TL S has heavy wheels that's why you feel like that

 

mine accelerates like a bat out of hell. do u a check engine light. hows your maintenance schedule like, when did u change the spark plugs, air filter, what kind of gas r u putting in it?, caring extra weight (subs, luggage)

 

E-brake on??? Happened to me when I first got my car alot...not used to the foot brake and glanced to see the light was on...DOH

 

vague? is your car bogging, hesitating or have rough idle? CEl on? WHat's up?

 

Heavy wheels? What are you talking about? Do you mean a heavy FLYwheel?

 

What's your 0-60 time ? Most people who come from big block V8 cars also find the TL-S slow.

 

Seafoam!?! Get some of your performance back?

When I'm not thinking about gas consumption, my TLS flys. No problem accelerating.

 

There may be a dead body under your gas pedal.

Seriously though, we need more to go on to help you...!

 

What 4 cyl are you comparing it to; a WRX Sti?

 

Are you flooring it? Does the 2nd stage actuator on the intake manifold work? Does Vtec engage? Where is it shifting?

Also the TL does NOT have heavy wheels

 

If you're low on oil your vtec might not be opperating. This would reduce the power of your motor.

YOu may also have a dirty air filter changing the A/F mix in the motor.

Year and mileage would be helpful.

 

saying its slow it extremely relevant.
no one can help you without more information.

how bout you try putting it in "manual" mode and flooring it in one.

 

I guess that guy has gone away. Time to remove this thread.
