My car hesitates during take off. What can make it hesitate during takeoff?<\/p>\n
———————————————————————————- There are many things that may have a hand in causing your car to hesitate. When the car hesitates it may be caused from a failing sensor. When a sensor fails the On Board Diagnostic (OBD) computer will store a code and illuminate a check engine light<\/a> on the dash. Sometimes it has nothing to do with electronics and sensors. Instead look at the mechanical side. This can be a dirty throttle body. You may be able to clean the throat of the throttle body. Start with a lightly alcohol soaked rag. Make sure to get the outside of the butterfly as well. This will allow more airflow at idle. This would increase the amount of air\/fuel into the engine on take off. A loose connection around the air intake and air filter locations may have occurred. A vacuum leak can cause havoc on the engines ability to control itself. Usually a higher idle accompanies this. And sometimes leaving the air conditioning on is all it takes to slow this mule down.<\/p>\n Your car brake system<\/a> could be at fault here. If your brakes are worn they could be grabbing the rotors. A caliper may be sticking an not allowing the brakes to retract. This would cause the brakes to drag on take off. The engine would have to work harder to move. A warn hub bearing<\/a> could also create drag but you would hear a grinding in most cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My car hesitates during take off.
