Default Car just feels slow.

It was put up for a bit and now I'm back to driving it.

I don't know, it just feels slow. I thought it was the gas, so I ran it lightly and got rid of the gas that sat for a bit. (one month)

Still feels slow.

I know this is vague, but oh well. Maybe you guys can help.

I have the NGK plugs that are recommended for chipped TT's (1 range cooler) and I put those in about 15k miles ago or so, I know I gapped them right, and I can't really think of anything else it could be.

I run that Chevron Techtron through my tank once a month, I change my oil ever 7ish k miles (K&N Filters and Mobil1 synthetic)


Anything else I can check?


The car just feels gritty, like its being held back, it'll have a surge of power and taper off, its hitting 22psi and going back to around 18psi, which seems typical... it just seems like there is something funky.

It just feels rough, it doesn't miss, it doesn't cut out, it just feels weird.


Have fun with this one guys....




AHAHAHAHA. Its really hard to explain what my car feels like on the internet. Just give me some stuff to try.

Thanks Audiworld.

Does it feel heatsoaked? Reluctant to rev? Try a new coolant temp sensor

Do you have a boost gauge? Probably would help you find out if it is just you or the car.

Default Upgrade your accelleration, steering and braking for $19.95

Maybe try driving around in a U-Haul for a day then get back in your car. Not only will your acceleration have improved, but your handling and braking will have gotten better as well.
That's the best upgrade for $19.95 I'd guess.
