Dead spot in throttle

[Mike Pfeifer]

Is it always the same intersection?

Lol no

Any updates on this? Getting the same hesitation in various modes especially normal when applying light throttle from a complete start. Reminds of the old old days when the accelerator pump on a carb was going bad with the car falling on it's face when leaving a stop sign, etc.

I've put the car away for winter. We'll see what happens in the spring.

are you guys all running auto s?
Nothing like that on mine, 6 Spd.
If so I d guess it s trans electronic related.
Light throttle can sometimes confuse auto s.

Nope, I met no hesitation, dead spots or gaps in my 5000 miles whatsoever. If it had wings, it would fly, lol.

Is it loss of power or hesitation in shifting gears? I’ve noticed with the 10 speed when the trans fluid is not up to operating temperature it can get a little quirky when it shifts. Maybe try keeping it in normal mode until the trans is up to temp and see if the problem still pops up?

Last time I had an issue with that was with the C7 in first gear which I purchased the Tony Mamo ported TB and I was back to business.

Auto. Feels more like engine faltering than transmission issue. Kind of like a dead spot in the communication between the pedal input and engine response. Less than 2k on the Odo. Drove around more today in Sport. Seemed to be much less pronounced.

maybe let the dealer check it then. Electronic throttle unit .

Yeah, I’d suspect the throttle body.

Yea, I think I am going to talk to one of the techs about it after I drive it a couple more weeks.

Can you elaborate a bit.
I seem to have a certain spot that at times my car will feel like it's pulling timing, other times will buck, one time it nothing didn't die just idled once I took my foot off the gas. Seem to be always at part throttle at a certain pedal spot and varying light load scenarios.

I have a manual (2021 Mach 1, ~8000 km) and I have noticed something lately, which I probably could describe in a similar way. Happens rarely, only at low RPM and light to none pull, and looks random. It feels like an intermittent engine black out.

Mine does it as well sometimes. Its rare only from a really low rpm pull on mine.
