Default poor throttle response..

i have a 2000 V6 , unfortunatly it is auto.. and the throttle response seems sluggish?? any suggestions would be great. i have already raised the accleration peddle up. i have a k & n filter. i don't want to spend much $$.. should i reset the computer would that help?? I have already cleaned the TB and IAC.. the car idles like a rock, solid at 750. I don't know.. maybe i am just expecting something that is not possible.

Default RE: poor throttle response..

If your K&N is a replacement for the stock filter and you therefore still have the stock clamshell housing covering the filter, then remove the silencer the extends into the fenderwell.

If you K&N isthe typicalexposed cone filter, then join the club - mine toois not as responsive as I'd like.

I have an 01 auto with an exposed cone filter clamped onto where the stock unit slides over, and I also have VAPauto's 1/2 MANIFOLD space and a 25% underdrive pulley.

My car runs great except for what you are describing.
