can you speak in english please?

i am guessing that you got noise when you accelerate?

a whining noise?

maybe alternator?

if you remove the belt... does the noise still exist?

I think he means that when he tries to accelerate quickly, the car hesitates as if he hadn't stomped on the gas, then after a second or two, the RPMs go shooting up - almost like there's a delay between the pedal and the engine.

Does that sound about right Sean?

I just wish I had an answer for you. I think your car has an electronic throttle instead of a throttle cable, so maybe there's some problem there.

Thanks for your reply, I wonder the problem could be the Air flow meter? Its actually worst when I switch the gear box from winter to summer setting....Anyway it sounds expensive!

Hi Sean,

I have the same problem but not as strong as yours. I had low idle on my car and the mechanic adjust the idle by enriching the idle mixture (he adjust the screw in the middle of the air filter box with a long allen key). After that the idle is a bit better but time to time (not all the time) the car hesitates a bit on take off from a stop light. I keep an eye on that and may bring it back for more adjustment.

I would suggest that you look at the idle mixture and my guess is when you press on the accelerator, there's too much gas that's why the car hesitates. I hope this will help.
