Sloppy throttle pedal
 

There is a half inch dead space in my Accelerator pedal.. is this normal?

I've stalled pulling it out of a parking lot many times. Do frs's just have that or my car is an unlucky one. Also, when it's going like 5-8kms an hour and I put my foot on the gas, it takes a second or 2 before the car starts accelerating.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It is a drive by wire not a mechanical linked system. Yes there is a bit of a dead zone but you get used to it.


You truly are dead set on finding something wrong aren't you!!!!

You could disconnect your battery and let the car relearn the throttle. Is the car stock?

the million dollar question..place your bets fellas

Lol! Sorry about my paranoia! The throttle does seem sloppy though.

If you don't have a tune odds are it's acting a bit wacky from the intake and reverting back to the OE intake will feel better.

I've read that a lot of people had sub par performance from just strapping an intake on there and not tuning it, so i'm betting this.

Agreed with above. Go back to stock intake. That doesn't look normal. If I was blipping my throttle like that you would hear my N1 exhaust rumbling. This car has a very sharp throttle response.

Agreed, even though the car is drive by wire, throttle response is pretty spot on 99% of the time.

Pretty sure he is just talking about that little bit of travel when you first push it not that he is pushing it and things are not right.

Watched the video again, pretty sure mine totally stock acts the same way from day 1 to now. Throttle just takes a bit more action to get a response vs. a real mechanical throttle.

Yep. It was the very first thing I noticed when I test drove the car. Wouldn't be surprised to find it was designed in since so little pressure is required. Makes sure you don't accidently rev the crap out of the car just by touching it.

That's more than likely your problem. The intake when swapped can cause some bogginess without a tune and have some dead space. Try disconnecting the battery to reset the ECU, it should work, but if not then you might want to go back to the stock intake.
