Glen93 Member 15 Member For: 11y 11m Gender: Male Location: South Australia Posted 19/08/13 09:09 AM Share Posted 19/08/13 09:09 AM Hey everyone I own a 2008 G6E Turbo and lately it's felt as though its not giving me all its got when I put my foot down. At first I thought it was just the traction control doing it's thing, but after speaking with a few people and now driving with T/C off, I know that's not the case. To make a bit more sense of it, I'll be rolling along, put my foot down, and there will be a couple of seconds of nothing before the revs finally go up and I get power.I've had people suggest it may be an issue with my spark plugs, or possibly boost leak. I have no idea personally, so was wondering if anyone else out there knows what I'm talking about or what the issue may be? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MY ROD GOT OUT Member 434 Member For: 14y 5m 25d Posted 19/08/13 10:58 AM Share Posted 19/08/13 10:58 AM Does it break down under load? ie up hill in high gear? Sounds spark related but who knows... Like angel said get to a tuner and let them have a play!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
