Sluggish on take off

Hello,

I would recommend changing the spark plugs, and the the air filter on your vehicle. Spark plugs usually do not last as long in a forced induction environment like like do in a naturally aspirated engine. Air cleaners are an easy tune up fix, and are often overlooked, but are extremely important in an engine's operation. I make these recommendations as I have a forced induction vehicle myself, a supercharger Mustang Gt, and am very familiar with how a forced induction engine operates. Here is a link below explaining how to this:

Please get back to us with how everything turns out.

Thanks,

Hello my name is Dave.

The first thing we need to find out is if there are any trouble codes in the computer. I have attached a link to our tutorial on retrieving these codes.

I would highly recommend checking for codes even if you don't have a check engine light on as sometimes there will be stored codes that can guide us to the issue even though the light isn't on currently. I suspect you are getting to much fuel and therefore once the turbo spools up and provides boost there is enough air for it to run properly. My first suspect would be the boost sensor (manifold pressure sensor) telling the computer there is boost when there isn't, this would cause it supply more fuel than required. If you can check for those codes and get back to us we will be glad to help you the best we can. We look forward to hearing back from you and thank you for using 2CarPros!

Hello again,

Here is a link below explaining how to pull codes from your vehicle using a code reader:

There will be codes stored if your Malfunction Indicator Lamp[MIL] or "check engine" light is illuminated. If you do not have a code reader, you can go to your local auto parts store, like AutoZone, and they will read the codes for you for free. Please get back to us with what you find out and we can go from there.

Thanks,
