Wondered if anyone can offer a reason for the following.
My `97 1800i exec 323ba has a very slight lag on the throttle, ie on pressing the throttle pedal ther is about a 1 second lag before the revs build, likewise on coming off the throttle pedal a similar lag takes place before the revs drop. All linkages, cable, and connections are sound, so its not that. I dont regard this as a problem, in fact it just gives the car extra character . I am pretty clued up on engines and their foibles, but this one stumps me.
Any suggestions anyone?

Yeh same thing happens with my car sometimes people think i cant drive smoothly because of the revs slow to drop when changing gears. wonder if its just how they made them.

not sure what you mean, but go for a testdrive in 1 and check that one out

Definately know what you mean about gear changes Foye, mine were all over the place when I first got the car, until I rememberred to compensate for the lag, coupled with the fact that my clutch is very sharp it can make for interesting footwork!!!.
323`s... dontcha jus lovem? ..... she`s my baby.
