New CEG'er
I'm a brand new owner of a 2000 CSVT and already have some questions.
I'm right at 63,000 miles and over the weekend the family and I made about a 400 mile trip in the car. At first I thought it was just me being sensative about the car and the throttle - but my passengers noticed this as well.
On light to moderate throttle (as when carrying the wife and in-laws in the car) - we all noticed a bit of surging. It definitely smooths out when given a little more gas - but for smooth, mild acceleration it just kind of sputters - not cutting out but just kind of rhythmic on and off power.
A better way of describing this is a VERY mild form of jerking as when you're learning to drive a stick and can't get the hang of the clutch.
It's been suggested that I clean the MAF sensor and re-set the computer.
First of all - what's the proceedure on these two jobs?
Second - any other thoughts on what this might be and how to correct it - short of bringing the car to the stealership?
Thanks in advance!
(PS - already searched and didn't come up with much!)
