hesitation

Has anybody had any hesitaion at take off? I have a 2017 trd sport and sometimes when i go to pull out from a stop quick it will seem to cut off for a second like its not getting fuel and then it will take off.

 

Yeah, it’s a “normal characteristic” as the dealer says. Even worse if you have the k&n CAI.

 

That kinda sucks it could be dangerous !!!

 

Gets better after the Orange Virus Tune if it bugs you that much. Tune also adds like 30HP in the midrange

 

The thing is mine doesn't do it all the time..... I have almost 8000 on it and it has done maybe 3-4 times.

 

Try premium fuel - I didn't have the hesitations nearly as much w/ premium, and I never get them with the tune referenced above. Agree they are a safety hazard - it's only a matter of time until someone pulls out into moving traffic and gets hit. Happened a lot to me when accelerating to turn left from a stop. You can only imagine how scary that feels when oncoming cars are headed to your driver's side door and the truck just hesitates for a brief moment.

 

Thats when mine seems to do it when turning left from a dead stop.

 

Yeah, like the absolute worst time for something like that to happen... on a right turn, at least you're going to get rear-ended. On a left turn it could be lights out.

 

Anyone know if the Sprint Booster helps with the hesitation?

 

Mine has done it 6 times now ( 2017 SR5, auto) been dealership 3 times, say no codes thrown, so ?? They told me 3 times could do nothing. Last time said if a problem call Texas!!! Dangerous as heck. They ( Texas too) claim never heard of it, and cannot duplicate it---. All 6 times were turning right from a stop sign.

 

We dont drive a grand prix circuit. Its not dangerous.

 

Is that a carrot with a finger nail?

 

More programming budgets for the engineers helps with hesitation!

Not sure if mine is that bad, I think I have spark knock at 87 octane. Sounds like rattling/popcorn.

 

Same issue here, but feel it in the low RPM range. Anyone check how bad the plugs look at 15k miles?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't white discoloration indicate running lean/hot.

 

My last work car that I opted out of was a 2015 or 2016 Chrysler 200 L4, 9 speed auto. There was a 3 second delay (I kid you not, I have witnesses) between stomping the throttle and tach showing any result. Dang thing nearly killed my in Houston, stepped on gas nothing happened, traffic was approaching, stepped on brakes and the thing lurched 6 feet almost into an accident.

In comparison, I love my taco, definitely not as much lag, if any

What? Dealers never say that. At least not before their first day of training.
