I've noticed driving my car i can't peal out if i floor the accelerator anyone else have this problem? should i have my car looked at or something?

 

Could be a variety of problems. If you've got a CEL check the codes and see if you get a knock sensor fault. If so, that's your problem, your knock sensor's gone bad, and your ECU is bottlenecking the power of your engine.

Otherwise, maybe you're using a lower octane gas or maybe you got new tires. No one can really tell unless you give us more info.

 

I thought the more worn a tire the less it grips, hence you can peel out even more?

 

Doh. fixed.

 

Get a dyno to see if your car is really lacking power.

Anyone can 'peel out' with the right tires.

 

You can peal out with the right bells. Or any bell for that matter.

We have a bell housing, but no bell?

 

Are we talking oranges here?

 

I cant answear your question but I can say that I have the same problem.
I have used 93 since i got the car over a year ago, I have 2.5inch header-back exhaust with no cat, intake, no codes but the rear o2 code, and still have a hard time peeling out.

who cares? u have an AT?

 

Theres no CEL should i go check for codes anyway? and should i replace knock sensor, MAF and the o2 just to be on the safe side?

 

O2 does not affect power under heavy load. Leave it alone unless you're getting an o2 sensor code, in which case fixing it will probably still not improve power.

Definitely check for ecu codes - there are some codes like the knock sensor that don't set the light.

Knock sensor may have some effect, if you check for codes and find a knock sensor code, all by itself, I would replace it. But not until it's the only code and it keeps coming up when running premium fuel.

Lower octane gas will not change power output unless the ecu has detected knock and adjusting the timing. That's the purpose of the knock sensor - in which case you should switch back to higher octane fuel and reset the ecu. If you don't get any ecu codes, it's not happening.

Grippy tires will give you more traction. You will be able to launch faster because it's harder to get wheelspin. As well, in summer the temps make the tire softer and more grippy then in colder temperatures. So in winter it's fairly easy to do no matter what tire you have.

If you have an A/T then most cars can't burn out by just stomping the gas. It doesn't have the sudden shock that lets the tires loss grip.

 

check your tire PSI. fill her up to 32.

 

Automatic 4-speed + FOR THE LOSE = NO peEling out.

 

dude i literally PEALED the f*ck out going up a driveway in the rain okay, so dont you dare tell me my AT isnt putting the power to the ground. i hardly have traction in the rain.

 

if its raining almost anything can burn out. My ranger can burn out through 3rd gear, thats like 75 mph when it rains. Autos just don't have the same ability to burn out on dry pavement as a manual vehicales do.

 

lots of good info in this thread. thanks.

 

10/10 would read again.

 

I can't peel out either, dont feel bad. All you have to do is turn your wheel or brake rev, anything than just nailing the gas.

 

Total thread failure.

/thread

 

Another great use of .Org bandwidth

 

But you have to ask yourself, is there a spoon?

hey btw, found your myspace.. and you have an add.

 

i have a 5 spd i must say its failry easy to "peel out" lol

MANUAL FTW!!!

 

AT are not made to peel out, that being said i wish my car was a manual for many reasons..

 

theres no reason to try and peel out with an a/t. That said when i left the house mad the other day (i know, i was being an ***) i punched it and my auto spun first and second, and chirped when it hit third. So they CAN, but why bother trying?

 

so you were spinning your tires in an auto until you hit about 65mph????

 

if thats the speed i wasnt paying too much attention to the guages i was on the phone with my now ex having a wonderful (read ) conversation. my drive way goes down and too the right, if that makes a diff?

 

Peeling out is

 

error 404: Peal-out not found.

 

im not sure, i dont ever burn out in my car, in some cars the speedo goes way up with the wheel speed when theres no traction but idk if our cars detect the speed like that. I do know that my friend spun his speedo almost all the way around when he just stomped on it in the snow and it never went back. funny ****, but no you wouldnt actually be goin that fast, i meant 3rd gear not 65, im trying to work and check out the org at the same time. i was just thinking about what wot shift points are

 

that was pretty good lol

 

once i had a set of REALLY REALLY worn out tires, the tires would keep on spinning if i floor it at like 30mph where the tranny kick-down LOL

 

Why exactly do you need to peel out again??

 

Why exactly are you trying to continue this failure of a thread again?

 

dude this thread is useful.......

 

If you want mad pealing-out with FWD Action!!!! Then buy a Big-Wheel.

 

haha how else can you burn out with like 5 horsepower

 

my big wheel > your big wheel

 

This is why i dont come in here any more
