Car hesitation upon accelaration

2 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I have a 2012 Mitsushitshi Outlander AWD 2.4L with 150k miles.  In the last year, I have had the CVT transmission rebuilt and cat converter (entire pipe assembly) replaced.  I needed to take the car back three times to transmission people because of issues (transmission belt broke again, and leaking fluid).  After the last time I took it in, I noticed that the car hesitates sometimes when I accelerate, as in there is a delay when I press the gas pedal and when the car actually starts to move.  This normally only happens after a complete stop.  The transmission fluid looks good. I replaced the spark plugs, air filter, changed the oil and cleaned the MAF.  After doing this the car drove good for a day or two, but started to do the same thing as before.  I have also noticed that my gas depletes a lot faster than before, and the car feels slower and sluggish, especially after driving long distances.  Any ideas?  Should I replace the transmission fluid with Genuine Mitsubishi fluid j4? I am sure they just used regular CVT transmission fluid.  Also thought about just replacing the MAF.

You can try throttle controller, which is to remove pedal delay, instant car start or acceleration, improve acceleration performance. I have bought one from aliexpress, and works well, this link is this:
