Lag in acceleration????

**zylonx** · 7-25-04, 2:30

93 mx6 ls atx acceleration lags for the first 40 - 60 feet then takes off rapidly this seems a bit extreme to just be the car coming into the power band. I was thinking maybe the vris solenoids were sticking but have not had a chance to check them. Car is running at best 17.13 second quarter mile times all slips show the time loss is mostly in the first 1/8 mile when compared to a 93 probe gt and a 94 mx6 ls both are mtx. Running 15.4 and 16.3 they gain no time after the 1/8 mile mark

This happened to me MX6 once I put octane booster or smth in a petrol tank, turned out to be lagging just like u said until the whole tank of that sh..t was gone. Dunno whats wrong with rs though

My car used to have this problem like lossing power around 3000-5000 rpm.
After I change vris #1, the problem is gone.

probably the VRIS solonoids dude.....I had the same problem...no low end torqe or power.....just got through replacing both solonoids and fixed her right up....she's got power enough for two cars!

they are mounted on the back of the intake manifold next to the firewall....in the center.....they have two plugs in the top of them...one of the plugs will be a tan color and the solonoids themselves will have a little mitsubishi logo on them. I got mine at the dealer for $68.00 a piece.
