throttle response on stock 3.0 when A/C is on- just how is it?
Ok, so I'm experiencing A/C problems to begin with (if you read the earlier thread), but meantime, I've noticed that the few times i had the A/C on, the throttle response in my 3.0 has been.. well.. lacking. I've had to hit the gas a good bit more than normal, and there was a kind of delay. I mean, I know there's a power loss, but for a V6 I didn't expect it to be THIS bad.. its like i'm in way too high a gear all the time.
Am I just paranoid?

hmm..maybe I'm just not shifting are the right speeds...
i tell ya, going from a high revving integra GSR to this, i expected there to be differences, but i feel like i need to learn how to drive aggressively all over again :-D
well, right now i'm still under 1k miles so i have to grandma it a good bit, but i still do kick it somewhat, just dont want to full throttle it too much.
anyway, i'll shift to 2nd at about 15-20, 3rd at about 25-30, 4th at 40+, 5th at 50+
Ironically, 4th and 5th no probs. But 2nd and 3rd, the first i'd say couple inches of down movement on the gas pedal really doesn't do much. but after i hit it further down, i get the punch i'm expecting. Is this by design?
that barrier point or whatever seems to be present w/o A/C as well, but more pronounced w/ the AC

Drive by Wire and non-Drive by Wire. They refer to how the throttle is controlled in the car (m)
In a Drive by Wire car, the gas pedal is physically isolated from the throttle. When you press the gas pedal, a sensor detects the pedal movement and the ECU handles changing the throttle position and other engine characteristics to deliver the requested power.
In a non-Drive by Wire car, the throttle and pedal are physically linked and the pedal directly manipulates the throttle position.
Drive by Wire allows the ECU to more efficiently handle the engine for performance and emissions purposes. However, sometimes that means power may be delivered a little differently than you would've expected. It seems to be common experience, for example, that you should not floor the gas pedal from idle in DBW cars (at least Audis and VWs) as you'll get less power from the engine than if you didn't floor it right at the start.
