    Default Delay on accelerating

    My wife's Executive feels like the accelerator cable is on a spring. You can put you foot down and there is a delay before taking off. I've sussed it out but the service dept says its within tolerance. Its very annoying to the point I refuse to drive. I've put the car sideways on a couple of occasions because I've put the foot down too hard. Anyone else had this problem?

    Cheers, Big Al

    Is there anything I can do about it?
    My VS ute is nothing like that, it is very responsive.

    Now there's the problem 'cable driven'. Try cable 'activated'.
