Hi There

I have searched forum looking at o2 sensor. Maf. And tps the fault is that there is a 1 _2 second lag on kick down and general acceleration. Other than that the engine and box feel and sound a1. If you keep the accelerator depressed 1/4 inch before you accelerate it works well. So my thinking it is the tps that is at fault. Has anyone else had a similar fault ?
 
I have had my 03 E320 petrol for about 6 months & also have a delay in kickdown, which I think is common on these models.
The answer is to use the manual change if looking for a quick overtaking option.
 
Not long bought the car. Have been working through the niggles. Most are done. I did think it may just be the old autobox on her and thats how it is. Forever an optimist i will have a wee root about this weekend see if i can improve the response from her. Will keep this thread posted
 
Have a look at the throttle cable for the correct adjustment.
 
Could well be a slack throttle cable. Will have a wee look if it is . I won a watch as the saying goes. Thanks
