anyone have/had issues when you floor it the car slowly accelerates but if you quickly release the gas pedal and then mash it again it instantly springs to life? I'm having that issue right now just trying to figure out what it could be

 

That's electronic throttle control for you. Hate it

 

But is there a remedy for it? It didnt use to be this bad

 

Yeah, I learned this first hand buying my Max earlier this year. First electronic throttle car I've owned though I've driven a few Mercs that had it and hated those too.

Get used to it after a while but there's no real "fix" that I know of.

 

Ive had the car since 2008 and it wasnt anywhere near as bad actually it was really smooth

 

Oh so it's changed drastically? Wonder if you're having transmission issues or something. I'm too new to the scene to troubleshoot that, sorry!

 

No transmission issue that i know of. Maybe its the maf?

 

my 2000 maxima doesnt go any faster if i floor it when driving. the rpms shoot up to around 4500 but the car stays at the same speed. any ideas

 

Can't hurt to clean it. Pretty easy to do and various people have found it to fix all sorts of acceleration problems.

Give it a shot

 

Ill attempt this weekend and keep you updated...any other ideas or suggestions are welcome. Car has 130k on it.

 

Torque converter going out. Or clutch packs going out

 

Yeah its a 6speed

 

I noticed this also...but after I bought the sprint booster it made it A WHOLE LOT better!

 

Sprint booster? Never heard of it

 

Check the hesitation TSB.

My TBW is no different than my A32.
