Throttle response is linear, with a light
pedal, and gets you away from traffic lights with ease.
Throttle response at the top of the
pedal feels dull, making it tricky to smoothly apply power.

response to suit specific driving conditions.

The lack of
response to the accelerator
pedal has quite a few potential causes that would have to be sorted out in a diagnostic including, just as a few examples, plugged fuel injectors, faulty oxygen sensors, fuel pump and / or filter, vacuum leaks including that caused by a faulty EGR system, ignition system malfunctions, bad valve timing if the timing belt or chain is worn or skipped, blocked exhaust (e.g., catalytic converter fails or becomes clogged), a faulty airflow sensor or
throttle position sensor, and so forth.
Throttle response was excellent, with each press of the gas
