Throttle response...sluggish?
Past day or two I noticed,well I think i noticed, that when i mash the throttle, it seems to hesitate before the power kicks in. Theres no lack of power, just seems to sputter a fraction of a second before she responds. I have a half tank of 93 octane from shell (had full tank last week), popcharger and motodyne 5/16th spacer with 50,000 miles on a 2005 6MT Touring. I have yet to check the cleanliness of the air intake but I cleaned it about 3 months ago and dont really drive all that much. Any ideas?

Im having the same issue, i have intake, headers, plenum spacer, and full exhaust. Im actually getting lag when i hit the gas, ive tried using fuel injector cleaners that you buy at the gas station but that didnt do anything

I had the same problem about a month or so then it progressively got worse. It turned out to be a bad plug. The thing that confused me was that it wasn't a consistent problem, it would be fine at times and not others. I took it in to the dealer several times. Long story short the regional service manager had to get involved and scout my car with a stethoscope over a faulty plug.

Thanks for the response. No weird noises at all. Tranny feels fine going into all gears, clutch pedal feel is fine, just when i hit the throttle quickly, the rpms climb but there is initially no response from the car for a half second, then it feels like it "catches" and lurches foward.
