I posted this on lxforums.com and got a few answers, and I wanted to post here and see what you guys have to say:
Ok, maybe I'm a little off my rocker but I was wondering about an issue (well if you want to call it that) that my car does. Why is it when I'm cruising along, whatever speed, and I get on it (not hard mind you-maybe enough to get next gear), the car accelerates but does so like I'm riding the cluth. It feels like when it goes do, it "gradually slides" down, like I'm riding the cluth til my foot is off the thing. Is this the torque management deciding to not unlock? Its really annoying to hit the gas and I hear the car, but nothing really happens except minor accel for 5-10 seconds then i get a small surge and the car goes. I've noticed this more and more with the new exhaust probably due to being able to hear more now. Anyone have any ideas what this is, and how to fix it? Does the programmers out there, or B&M, or even the Mopar PCM piece?
I also asked this about the SC programmer, since people said this would fix everything:
This SC thing, will it do anything for the delay in changing gears? In other words, R to D, or D to R? Seems to take a good 10 seconds before in the gear i selected??
Basically those on lxforums recommend the SC programmer for the car. I'm slightly afraid of the 91 octane requirement. I spend my mornings in stop and go, and most of the day in the same thing. My Mileage averages 13.5-14.5 due to the constant 1-2 gear hang outs.
Does everyone else feel the SC is the best thing going to address the issues I feel I have? Or something else? Someone mentioned about getting a non flashed SC...but not sure why. Anyone?
