...where's my power gone?!
I'm hoping Cheeky Thomas will turn up here and tell me "oh, that's normal it'll pick up in a couple hundred miles". Really hoping.
Basically, all the shuddering and low-rev roughness is gone, which is lovely, but there always was a lag in pickup from takeoff, which didn't improve the first few dozen stop-and-starts, but now has become a yawning chasm of nothingness
On yanking back the throttle at 0mph there is a maybe three or four second (!) crawl (going from 0 to 10mph) at just over 3000 revs before the revs kick up to 6000+ and a proper takeoff occurs. I'm gonna be pissing off a lot of drivers when I filter to the front at the lights and then do THAT on the green.
The master engine always was a late starter, but now it feels like I should get off and push alongside it for a bit every time I pull away
Any ideas, anyone? CT?
As I say, the smoothness is lovely, but if it is somehow the JCosta causing this lack of power, then it isn't worth the tradeoff.
P.S. At 5000 to 6500 revs (ish) the acceleration seems to have improved from the previously good mid-range, but top end doesn't seem to want to get up above 85 very easily anymore.
