Poor Throttle Response

Does anyone with the 4 Cyl. have this problem, anything that can be done to improve sensitivity?

 

Trade it in on a V6

Sorry, I couldn't resist.... now maybe someone will come along and actually help you

 

Shame on you Sawdust!


We have similiar trucks VinnyBob. I never thought my throttle response was bad BUT I jumped from a '91 toyota pickup into the 06 tacoma and it's 40% extra power.

Even as good as it was I noticed a definite improvement from removing the secondary filter and switching to an aFe Dry Pro S OEM replacement filter.

 

I think it has a lot to do with the *throttle by wire* system.

I can't say that mine has any lag, but there are days when I stomp on the gas and it just doesn't seem to downshift (auto) fast enough to get moving as fast as I'd like. Doesn't bother me either way...

My Gawd, I had a 2004 Dodge ram with 5.7L with less responsiveness than the tacoma.

 

yeah im probably too used to my carburated 350 in my other car. that drive by wire is a bad idea i guess
