When accelarating, from a stop especially, the throttle intermitantly will give an almost dead response. It can be pressed all of the way down to wide open and it slowely developes power and does not reach full power untill after the 1, 2 shift. It is dangerous and is going to cause an accident. No mil light nor troible codes are present.
