i have been occasionally experiencing something odd with my car recently. after i shift out of 2nd gear and into 3rd, it feels as if there is a second where the car doesnt accelerate normally and feels as if some power is lost, but it only lasts for a second. its kinda like a hiccup or something. does anyone know what the problem is and how it can be fixed? thanks.

Hey I had a similar problem; I was driving for a while so the tires and engine were both warm and I decided to have fun and took an corner fast and come wot out of the turn. when the rmps hit the limiter i lost almost all throttle response. it was almost as if i took my foot off the gas while my foot was al the way to the floor but i fixed this by letting my foot off the gas. Keep in mind i have a 05 LS coupe with an Auto tranny. I only have an CIA and gmpp exhaust right now but I wanted to ask people who know a lot about the car before I take it into to get serviced. If anyone knows what might be wrong please let me know

could it have to do with your gas stations switching back to summer gas??? the ecu may have adjusted to witer mix gas so it has to readjust to a summer mix

thats your exhaust system lol

i get that same thing too.... the hiccup thing... I get that every once in a while on heavy accel. I think the spark plugs might need to be regapped or somthing... what makes me mad was it did it while i was doin a pass at the track one time and it was awesome run until i hit third gear... I ran a 14.8 and i think it could have gotten better if it didn't hiccup.

i dunno i got some fuel ingector cleaner for 3 bucks... lucas ****, imma try that tommorow when i put gas in her...

i get the same thing on my 1-2 shift, the car just kindof falls on its face for half a second then it picks up and goes. could it be a fly-by-wire problem??

tityrous

lol yea i know the exhaust pops but its not the exhaust that causes it to do it its only happend like a handfull of times

DTM2188

not sure, but it sounds u have the same exact problem i am having. i was actually wondering, since somebody earlier mentioned the spark plugs, if i could solve this problem by perhaps gettin the NGK ones?

TexasPhil

im going to speedworld tomorrow to pick up my 1 range colder plugs,(had to special order them) if it dosent rain i am gonna put them in, and ill let yall know if it fixes the problem

hey guys im not sure if it the same with the ss's or not but in my ls the 1st and 2nd gear are almost 2 far apart from each other like if i have to slow down and then got to acclerate i can bee 2 high in frist gear but 2 low in 2nd to get going quick so maybe you just need to shift higher
