  Written by: tmex12 on Jul 12, 2010 10:15:35 PM

Drove it today after a week of travel and noticed its slow off a start - delayed response when the throttle is depressed. Mind you this is not a cold start, but getting off the block at a red light or intersection. Is this a mechanical or software issue. I need some information from ... Read More
