Car Delays Before Responding To The Gas Pedal: Advise by babeface3(op): 10:15pm On Apr 16, 2015
My Nissan Extera delays before responding to accelerate when I march the throttle and then takes off abruptly like an aircraft leaving the tar mark.

Anyone knows the remedy to this?

Try cleaning the throttle body then clean and lubricate the throttle cable and actuator

Why not right, what is wrong with my recommendation?

when you press the accelerator it pulls the cable that opens the butterfly valve in the throttle both any build up in this mechanism can cause the same effect when the valve breaks open.

Throttle body cleaner and a dash wd-40 on the cable is perfectly safe and expected to be done as car gets older nothing new
