i have a problem if im at a light and when it goes green if i punch it. it takes .5 second of hesitation then lights the tires up and off she goes.

what do i have to do to fix this problem

Go on yellow.. If you see green, your sleeping.

Could be your injector timing.

Excessive slack in the throttle cable. My Ranger had that problem. Remove the cable from the linkage. Put a tie-wrap around the belt path. Re-install cable. No more delayed throttle response.

I just assumed it took a half second to build enough boost to make any real horsepower...starting out from idle anyway...

May need to check the TPS voltage....

Just some thoughts...

i meant a street light if your going on yellow you just missed the whole green light

was turning left and had a gap open but it take a half second for truck to respond

its not slack in the cable its intermittent problem. and when i put it in gear or reverse some time the rpm drop down to like 500 and want to stall out.

Is it doing what your avatar is doing?

 

[BlairTruck]

yes just the split second it takes to actually go. then its normal. my wot is tuned much better then my DD

Could be the torque convertor, how does the trans shift?

But he's been running on the same tune for years. Did it suddenly change?

I don't recall seeing it saying either or..... just wanted to throw an idea out there.

A simply tune-up can do wonders, I recently removed the blower to clean the intercooler , and also change plugs while I was in there with decent access, and she runs much better. It's kind of funny how tune up items dwindle slowly enough you really don't hardly notice how much they have dwindled until you drive it after the tune-up.
