Laggy tachometer?

[Guest]

Hi everyone! I was sitting in my driveway this morning letting my car warm up a bit. I tapped the gas lightly and noticed the needle on the tach starting from idle then upward seems to be a kind of slow. It sort of lags very slightly when rising. I can’t recall ever having a car that doesn’t have a smooth rise when accelerating in park. Can someone pleaseee do me a favor and check to see if yours is the same. Thanks!

My dad's '03 was like that. Blip the pedal and the engine revved a moment later. I think it's just the drive-by-wire taking its sweet time to register your suggestion, decide whether it thinks that's a good idea, and then open the throttle.

 

Older rigs (like my WD21) have a mechanical connection between the long skinny pedal and the throttle body. Foot's down, throttle's open. That's probably what you're used to.

Thanks a lot for the reply. That does make sense. The vg33 on does seem to react more quickly to the tap of the pedal.

My 03 is the same way, so I second the vote thatvut is a normal side effect of the drive by wire throttle.
