Ok i'm not sure how to explain this but i'm gonna try. Ocassionally right after i take off (driving easy) the car will do a nose dive like it want's to die. Sometimes it does it in first gear and sometimes in second gear. It doesn't feel like a miss fire. I usually slam on the clutch real quick and re-engage the clutch and it will take off normal again. If you don't hit the clutch it'll like hesistate and then squeal the tires. If anybodies had a problem like this or just has an idea, i'd appeciate the help.

do you have any CEL?
what mods do you have?

Tibs

Yeah but it for a o2 sensor malfunction (stupid o2 simulator), taken care of that tomorrow. The only mods i have are CAI and header back exhaust. So i'm clueless.

Dmitry

I have PSSSS sound from the air-filter, especially when I hit WOT from idle. Maybe you hear your CAI?

Tibs

No it's like a major hesistation or something. I dunno, it's weird.

Dmitry

on empy fuel tank that can happen, cause fuel pump can't take enough fuel.

also it can be first symptoms of the fuel pump going bad 02.gif

when did you change fuel filter and clean your air filter?

Tibs

I changed my air filter about 5000mi. ago and my fuel filter about 3000mi ago. Low fuel would make sense but at the time i had around 1/4 of a tank. I hope it's not my fuel pump i don't have the money for that.

Dmitry

try feeling your tank up at least to 1/2

Stupid question maybe, but are you driving the clutch properly? You say it happens when you take off easy.... maybe your letting off the clutch too fast and\or taking off at the wrong RPM?

Tibs

No i've been driving a standard since i was 14 but that's the same thing the dealership said.
