Default Question

Now, when I step on the pedal to my 91 Coupe/Auto, I get just a slight hesitation before the car moves. It's like I have to step down further than before. What could be causing this? I haven't done anything to the engine TV cable prior to experiencing this problem. Thanks in advance.

make sure your throttle cable is correctly installed.

Is the hesitation in engine rev or in tranny hookup??

Do you have any mods to the engine or A4??

I have no engine mods, but I do have bolt on mods; they're listed on my profile.

Throttle cable is installed correctly, it was working fine prior to the proble, and I re-checked recently. Is there a way to tighten it?

Sonds like a fuel problem. Fuel filter, dirty injectors, fuel pump. Try running some Chevron through the tank and see if it improves.

On a carbed motor there was an accelorator pump, what is the FI equivilent?
