2nd Gear Jerking

Ok ... i have a question ... maybe i am just used to my old turbo ... but there feels like something is going wrong with the MSP. When i shift into second and give it a little gas ... not nailing it or anything, but enough to gain some speed quickly... you can feel the turbo start to spool and then if you dont stomp it harder and keep your foot in the exact spot on the pedal the car seems to shudder... almost lunging feeling.

Anyone else got this issue. Is this the bad A/F mixture. I think the MSP is a ploy by the gas company to make me broke, im having to fill up with Premium about 2 times a week now. At 2.50 a gallon ... im about to become a plasma doner so i can afford gas ) ... just kidding

this happens to me as well... its even worse in first. but no worries its just because of our crappy ecu tuning. if you lean the mixture out more then itll stop doing it

it's called hesitation

I had this before the car was flashed. Get yours flashed.

Yea... it happens. I would recommend getting Joep's FCD. It not only defends against the fuel cut, but it also eliminates all the stumbling and rough riding. Or... you can take it to the dealership 20 times, with still no fix.

my car is flashed (well, they said they did it and it said it on the ticket), and I still get the hesitation. i've given up on mazda fixing it, just need to save up for MPI tuner.

Fixes for hesitation:

Get Flashed

Change Plugs (sometimes causes smilar hesitation problems)

Changing to a Walbro fuel pump has been known to fix hesitation issues

Wait for pinneapple piggy back to come out and get your a/f ratio fixed completely.

Keep adding "go faster" parts and complaining of gas mileage.....makes sense

I bet you felt the stummbiling even worse when you have the A/C on
