why does my Genesis G70 have a delay in acceleration after stopping?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts for repair.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.
• Allow the engine to cool down before working on the throttle body.

2. Inspect and Clean Throttle Body

• Remove the air intake duct to access the throttle body.
• Use a throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the throttle plate and surrounding areas.
• Ensure the throttle plate moves freely without obstruction.
• Reinstall the air intake duct securely.

3. Check and Replace Throttle Position Sensor (if faulty)

• Locate the throttle position sensor on the throttle body.
• Disconnect the electrical connector from the TPS.
• Unscrew and remove the old TPS.
• Install the new TPS, ensuring it is properly aligned and secured.
• Reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Transmission Fluid Check

• Locate the transmission dipstick or fill plug (if applicable).
• Remove the dipstick and check fluid level; add fluid as necessary to reach the recommended level.
• If fluid is dark or burnt, consider a transmission fluid change.

5. Reconnect Battery and Test

• Reconnect the battery terminals.
• Start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes.
• Conduct a test drive to confirm that the acceleration issue is resolved.
