slight hesitation on initial acceleration (after cold start) - 07-23-2007 , 12:43 PM

the above is a small thread I found after I got the idea that it may be the TPS that's doing this. It appears that this is a "normal" issue, for some cars, as what happens to mine is exactly as described above. Exactly. Now why that is on only some is a question, but at least I know mine's not really the only one. Why it started only after the 74 and DCAI upgrade is beyond me, but I'll swap out the old maf and sensor and see what happens.

The old maf of course has the baffle grid in the throat and I seem to recall that folks have taken that out, maybe Mike in Orange mentioned that. Anyway, if so, what has been the benefit or the deleterious affect of that, obviously before I do that. the baffles I'd guess are there to break up and smooth the airflow.

On a side note, I put the rain gutter trim on. 7/16" wide, and mentioned before that the secondary benefit was that it broke up the wind getting sucked into the car at speed, so now I can keep the windows open without the inside booming.

So my motorcycle screen has always bugged me because the air hits me right over the top of the screen in my forehead creating buffeting and windnoise in my helmet. So I got the bright idea while looking at the car and put some of that trip along the top of the screen first, first one way then the next upside down. Found that in one position it didn't do anything, but in the other it raised the wind flow between 2 and 3 inches. Unbelievable that somehing that small would do that to that degree and substantially quieted the ride. I then played with trim on the sides of the screen but that increased the turbulence across the area of my body right behind the screen, so off that came. Fun times playing with that stuff.
