Re: Power Chip
Hi Nick,
This throttle lag issue has bugged me since I first got the car. It is exactly what you say it is - throttle lag. It is not turbo related. I presume you drive a manual because I don't think it is a problem with autos. I find it particularly bad in stop start traffic where if you stop and immediately try and take off again the engine takes about a second to respond to throttle input. If it stands for 10-15 seconds idling then it seems to respond almost immediately. The standard response from Toyota is that it must have something to do with the emission control and cannot be adjusted. As such I have had to learn to live with it. I would be very interested to know if it has actually been cured by fitting the chip.
