Car Problem

[kr1sh]

its been happening on and off for about a week now.

wen im driving, and accelerate, it kicks in slow, like it makes a rev noise and then kicks in later. still reaches top speed n shit, but the slow kick-in is getting really ****ing annoying!

dont have time to go to mechanic for a few days coz of work so i thought i'd ask on of ur opinions!

[Boostzor]

Try making the thread title a little more specific for starters.

Have u changed anything recently?

Is it only during hot weather/ been sitting in traffic a while? maybe ure timing is off.

When it "kicks in" is it slow and subtle or does it go clunk and then pick up the pace?

[kr1sh]

recently, put in a knn pod air filter

could be the timing belt

and wen it "kicks in", it doesnt go clunk but after the delay it picks up the pace pretty quickly

[Boostzor]

So its subtle and u cant feel it apart from the lack of power right?

Could be right about the timing belt. Did u extend piping to get the kn in? could just be too much piping making more lag. maybe u should buy a stock airbox, gradenko is selling 1

[kr1sh]

nah i didnt extend the piping

i jus took the whole airbox out and shoved it in the pipe that was connected to the airbox

[Boostzor]

Ya got me. Try bashing the CAS with a mallet a few times and see how u go

Apart from that i dont know what it could be.

[kr1sh]

will do

That was what I was thinking. If its a manual, sounds like kr1sh has a slipping clutch. But a slipping clutch is pretty damn obvious, unless the only hint kr1sh can take is the hint of cherry in cherry coke .

kr1sh, threads about car problems should be posted in the Maintenance forum, not General Discussion.

sorry gradenko!

i dunno wat it is, how much are clutches to replace anyway?

expensive?

[skyla]

The expence of a clutch kit will depend on what you go for, standard is cheaper, but if you go for a heavy duty kit, you naturally pay more.

But if you are going to race the car down the strip or around the track it's well worth the extra dollars.

[kr1sh]

i want one that lasts longer

is hard to damage

n shit

is the filter oiled? if it is it could be a dirty AFM sensor wire, do a search for cleaning the AFM wire and give it a go, i had a similar problem after i put my pod filter on, cleaned the wire and it fixed the problem

[kr1sh]

i managed to get a book in at the mechs 2morrow

will tell him wat i learnt from here

thanks boyz
