Why does my car have a slow acceleration?
Why does my car have a slow acceleration?
A slow accelerating car is the result of this incorrect data. It may also trigger the Check Engine Light. Other causes of poor acceleration are vacuum leaks, a defective throttle position sensor, a defective idle air control valve, and a plugged catalytic converter.
Which is an example of velocity, acceleration, slowing down?
Below is an example of using instructional strategies to help make sense of the graph and of velocity, acceleration, speeding up and slowing down. As stated previously, the points on the x-axis indicate 0 velocity – think STOP sign. As the car moves towards a stop sign it will slow down.
What can be the cause of my acceleration issues?
The shaft where the belt rides on the driven pulley seems to be getting slightly greasy as if the rubber bushings at the bottom notches on the pulley may be failing? I have noticed some minimal slippage while riding and can easily differentiate this slip from the overall lack of performance. Are they related issues?
When does acceleration is negative the car is speeding up?
It is counterintuitive that when acceleration is negative the car can be speeding up. The rule of thumb is when acceleration and velocity share the same sign (+ or -) the object is speeding up. When the signs are different the object is slowing down. This rule is shown in the graph but the stop sign makes this more intuitive.
