Has anyone read up on this or done it. Im thinking of doing the coil stretch, the fuel cut fix seems a bit risky, dont want to try that one out but ti would be nice.

I used to have that problem, and then did a couple of the recalls that had come down the pike for my car. No problems since.

Something about doing that coil mod doesnt seem right. Sometimes I just f'ing hate 247! Alot of bad information on that site. What are your mods Jesse?

Which recalls?

 

[Jesse MS3GT]

I have an intake. I just know between shifts I get a big hesitation, and im not talking about the lag. Well, i also havent driven the car in forever, so I dont know if I recall what it does correctly lol

I get the same lag. So it has to do with the motor not mounts or anything.

I guess I dont really notice a hesitation, the only thing I notice is a split second of lag between shifts. I also have the Cobb SRI. I have the TXS DP & RP on order and will get the Accessport when it come out, maybe that will cure the little lag this car has.

nate one day we will have to drive each others cars because i dont have any lag or shutters but i do have the worst gas mileage

What mileage are you getting?

I thought the split second of lag was caused by the fly-by-wire throttle... maybe I am wrong.

I had the reflash, and the PCV thing fixed. Car seems a lot better with those.

Is that on a MS3? 07?

Yes to both for mndsm , $1 for me. Ha! :signs109:

 

[mndsm]

Yeah, it's an 07 Speed3 GT. I had a NASTY hesitation in the winter last year. Nothing this year to compare it to, as the car has been in the garage since November.

PCV valve problem? I have never heard of this...

 

[Z-licious]

There was a TSB for the swirl valve

One other little thing that might make a noticeable difference (it did for my non-Speed 3 anyway) is to remove the ground wire from the driver's-side wheel well and then use a dremel tool to grind off the paint underneath the little spot where the ground wire attaches. It only takes a few minutes, but it improves the conductivity of the ground and I noticed an immediate difference in the amount of hesitation when I mashed on the gas pedal.
