Humidity Issue?
 

whats going on guys, so i have a quick question for ya guys... anyone in the northeast area of the country of the great country of the USA (philadelphia) have any issues the past week or so with their clutch pedal feeling really spongy? i think its just the humidity, but idk...

ALSO....

im OFT stage 2 UEL on 93oct, anyone having a horrible lag issue with throttle response? i think its JUST humidity, but was curious to see if anyone else has had the issue?

I'd guess your observations are due more to the heat than humidity...........:popcorn:

see the heat is at like 90-98 degrees with humidity... but the heat can make it lag that bad??? its got like a 2/3sec hesitation before the throttle feels like it actually does something

Well, the heat may be affecting the hydraulic clutch feel if there is some air in the lines. If that's the case, bleeding the system would eliminate that possibility.

As far as the increased lag with higher temperatures, other than noting that warmer air carries less oxygen, I'm really not sure.

Captain obvious is asking if you're running the A/C more ..... ??

captain obvious should know A/C is for noobs who cant stand the heat, haha. but yea im def going to bleed the system to make sure theres no air, idk how that would of happened, im just gonna blame toyota for this

Heat and humidity is pretty much a full time thing here in Florida. I don't have either of the probs the OP has. I think you have something else going on.

see i plugged my oft in, and had my friend watch the real time data, and he said everything looked absolutely fine, so idk, on top of all this my friend who works at a toyota dealer said that the clutch feels terrible in my car, hes like granted you have 30k on it, but something is not ride, im gonna bleed the slave and go from there and see what happens

Super easy to bleed the system too. Takes like 5 minutes with the vacuum.

Change your brake and clutch fluid and then get a steak extra cheese wit!! or 2

HAHAHAH, YAAAAS! well you know your not from philly when you have a pic of pats/geno's hahah, gotta explore ya cheesesteak taste buds

Geno's > Pat's

*drops mic*

OREGON STEAKS OVER ALL

I've been eating Pat's forever, I heard Oregon has good steaks, gotta try it. But I tried Geno's 3 times and to me they were just awful, better roll but crap on the inside.

i 100% agree with you, im a pats over geno's kinda guy! but you def need to try this place.... http://dalessandros.com/

you will be in heaven, not the greatest are after 10pm, but if you go with a group of people, you'll be fine! but day time is completely fine

Any good guides on how to change the fluid? Also what should I replace my clutch fluid with?

I have no tune and im stock and I was bitching about this a few weeks ago on here. Its hot and humid, it runs like crap. And I can see this post went to something totally unrelated but yes, they run like crap in hot humid weather

To change the clutch/brake fluid you basically bleed the system till all the old fluid has been replaced.

They have new fangled speed bleeders or you can do it the old two people way.

This may help:

I'd suggest you replace the fluid with a fluid with the specification shown in your drivers manual.
