Here's one to try. I was waiting at a stop light and put the MO in neutral while I fiddled with the CD player. When the light turned green, I abruptly dropped the shifter into drive and hit the gas (pretty hard since I didn't catch the green light right away and got beeped). Nothing....no burst of acceleration and barely any pick-up whatsoever!! Instead the transmission slowly came up to speed and I veerrryyy slowly pulled away. I thought I was imagining things, so I tried it again with the same results.
I figured shifting from N to D and then hitting the gas immediately did not give the computer controlling the trans/engine enough time to 'think', which caused the lag. It's just that the lag was so bad!
My wife's car has an automatic and has the off-the-line lag all automatics have (the MO is no exception), but her car does not have this severe a problem (when shifting from N to D then accelerating).
This problem does not happen when the MO is left in D and then accelerated. Any one else ever experience this?
