problem #1

Jun 162008

9-5

  • 24,500 miles
Significantly delayed acceleration when ambient temps exceed 90F. Car functions normally until you encounter summer temps and heavy traffic. Then, upon pressing the accelerator pedal car hesitates severely until engine speed reaches approximately 2100 RPM. Then acceleration comes on stronger than expected. This is particularly disturbing when making left turns or entering a busy street. Car sometimes misfires when this occurs.
