Here's the dillio! I got a 96' VS Ecotech and lately i've noticed that on some days when i decide to plant my foot down a little there's a slow build up of speed as if she's struggling, then all of a sudden there's the boost associated with more acceleration (but still in low revs, then of course big speed in higher revs). This kinda shiits me in a way! The acceleration in the folk's vt is a lot more jumpy. When you accelerate, it's instantaneous compared to the vs, also, the acceleration isn't as smooth (i.e. it feels like the pedal half gets slightly stuck). Could it be a stretched accelerator cable? How much would i be looking at to replace one? Also, i have a slightly rough idle when sitting at the lights (in drive), i was thinking maybe the throttle body could need a clean (since it's never been done) but then again none of the sensors have ever been replaced in 216,000kms either! Could a new O2 sensor improve things? Another quick question, i'm looking at getting extractors fitted soon, would it be wise to replace the Y pipe and cat as well? As they both have been there since the car rolled off the production line! Haha and if anyone has any extractors for sale or know of anyone that want to offload some in the Melb metro area plz help, been looking for too damn long, only to hear, "It's gonna cost you 700 bux!"
