Engine lag at sloped traffic junction
kt:
My latio also goes into engine brake when going down Benjamin Sheares Bridge. That's normal I think, one of the safety features for our ride. My former ride Honda Stream also does that when going down the Bridge.
I also would try my best not to go to TC, unless absolutely necessary. It's good to know that the hissing sound is normal...can save few hundred bucks and don't have to change the compressor for the time being...

I do have the hissing sound when i switched on my aircon... I guess it is normal cause my home aircon also produces similar noise. As for the engine lag, i could only think of your spark plug misfiring or CVT transmission fault. When my vehicle is stationary with the gear engaged at "D" or "L" or "R", theres a squeaking sound from under carriage... It dissapears after i engage gears at "N" or "P"...
Must be thinking it could be the characteristics of CVT. But that i'll have to ask TCM. So i hope someone could enlighten me before i go to TCM
I do not have engine lag when moving off from slope or moving up the slope but it gave me some doubts when free wheeling down slope especially at Benjamin Sheares bridge exiting at Rochor exit(any other slope is ok). When free wheeling or in other words, release the pedal fully, the engine goes into engine braking and RPM shows 3000rpm...
I was just wondering if it's the characteristics of CVT transmission. Anyone had this experience before?
PS: I would go to reliable 3rd party workshop and have some diagnostic check on the engine lag. TCM could sometimes hide things and not fully say the full extend of the problem/s. Had such experience before but it was with Motor Image.

Ya that's the same thing that happened to my ride. Stuck at jam sometimes the response becomes very lagged. My sis also experienced the same thing when driving up a carpark slope. The car pick up was very very slow. She told me an uncle riding a bicycle can overtake her. The thing is, sometimes its responsive. Sometimes its not. So I don't think it's due to the accelerator pedal stuck by the car mat. Now I'm crossing my fingers and praying that its not due to the CVT gearbox...If not, it's bleeding time for my pocket again...
Any bro got any reliable workshop to recommend to diagnose this prob? (except for TC) Preferably in north side coz I live in Bishan. Pls kindly advise. I would appreciate that very very much.

I also notice that the problem is worst if stuck in traffic jam......car feel no power to move off at all unless floor the accelerator....then even only move at a snail pace...sometimes cars behind also honk honk....
Frightening experience was when stuck at Orchard jam...then went up slope to Taka shopping center.....car move at a snail pace and i got to use L gear to inch my way up....tot that it was going to die on me.....

I did that too. The RPM shoots up, but acceleration still very slow :weep: :weep:

release and press again immediately, the pick up will kick in faster. I did try floor accerelator before but not much help.

i always service my car regularly....and change parts even before the recommended intervals eg. CVT fluid change at every 40Kkm...last change of spark plugs was during 100Kkm at TCM....
i also crossing my fingers not due to CVT problem else have to chop hand & leg to repair it....

Maybe throttle body dirty only ?
