Hesitation/Delayed Take-Off and Light Acceleration Pulse (Barely Noticeable) at Low RPMs
Hello. Just purchased a used 2006 Chevrolet
Impala LT 3.5 V6, 120K miles, well
maintained.When pulling off from a start under
light acceleration there is a fraction of a second
delay to get going. This fraction of a second event
pulses, acceleration to hesitation, repeatedly ever-
so-slightly until a light-to-moderate force is applied
to the accelerator. At this point the pulsing
acceleration ceases and all 'appears' normal (first
to second shifting, down shifting, second to third
and so on). The problem is I don't feel comfortable
having to drive with a heavier-than-usual foot.
Along with that, I'm worried that if I let the issue go
it will get worse.
