I have a 2014 AmericaLT I go to leave and it hesitates on acceleration and then it stalls, I put her in the shop they sync the throttle bodies and said its the nature of that engine. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem?
Please HELP Thanks Richard
Richard, while that was a lazy response from a mechanic, he may have been kinda right. That is if the trouble you are having is the motor cutting off as you gently take off from a stop. Several of us with the EFI models have experienced such a situation from time to time. Like trying to smoothly and slowly take off from an intersection and it just quits as the clutch is released. If so, there are few things you can do. As mentioned , the idle should be set just above 1,000 RPM. 1,100 or there abouts. Throttle body sync can have effect here and should be verified/balanced as it is often a bit off for many of us when it's checked for the first time. And then, you may need to adjust your riding behavior a bit. Start taking off like you have a purpose. Not like a hooligan but like you want to clear the intersection or are actually going some where and not hanging around. Some have indicated that removal of the SAI plumbing can also contribute but I'm not so sure about it. You don't say what if any mods or changes from stock. Still running the stock mufflers or after market mufflers and corresponding fuel map?
09 America, some modifications
