| Throttle response lag
This problem only pops up occasionally but when it does, it's exactly when you don't need it to.
For example, turning from a blind corner and needing to get into the throttle a bit more than usually when starting up from a stop, step on the gas and it seems to take a second to go. I'm sure the time is much less than that, but in the moment it's obviously noticeable. It only happens occasionally which makes me think it's not mechanical, but that is why I am asking for the group wisdom.
So intermittent slow throttle pickup. (2008 G500 110,000 miles). Is it an electronic issue somewhere or a mechanical issue and do I need to do something about it? Thanks All. |

Can you get a STAR scan to see if it shows anything? I'm wondering about the Throttle Position Sensor - i.e. "drive by wire" unit. |

I agree with Dutch. Take it to the dealer for a STAR hookup. There could be a software update as well. We have had this on our cars before. |

Could be worth cleaning the throttle body with some CRC Throttle Body Cleaner, common for them to get a bit gunked up on the m113. |

You might want to adjust the foot pedal - cable - throttle position sensor.
Please look at the throttle position sensor location, and you will see an adjustment system for that cable.
The procedure is published in thew WIS......I don't have it not right now available to me.
With that adjustment I was able to correct the kick-down feature |
