While traveling on the highway a few weeks back I noticed a strange thing concerning acceleration with my LR3, I was going somewhere around 65-70mph in drive & VERY SLOWLY squeezed the throttle on, the initial result was acceleration but that was followed by what I would describe as an additional restriction on the acceleration. With more throttle, the transmission shifts down, and acceleration continues normally.
Anyone have any experience with multiple carburetors? You could relate the "added resistance" feeling to carbs being out of sync and working against each other.
After I exited the highway, I experimented a bit in sport mode so I could isolate gears and see if there was any change... 1st gear I didn't notice it - could be attributed to the mechanical advantage masking the issue. 2nd - 6th gear the "restriction" was present.
It's a very slight occurrence, I drove the vehicle several thousand miles with out noticing it.
Any one else have this issue? I know the dealer is going to be dismissive about this issue... its tough to feel. I'd like to have some back up data if possible!
Thanks.
