Throttle Response / Acceleration Hesitation Delay = 2006 F-150 Lariat 5.4L 4x4
Could someone please let me know why I’m having an Acceleration Hesitation at 30 – 40 mph? It feels like the onboard computer has a built in 2-second delay in between the gears. I have 7K miles on my 06 F-150.
Last week I had Ford re-program my trucks computer to the most current revision (also called Flash update). They found 06-Sept Rev that they thought would fix my problem. Well, 200 miles later, no change and I still have this Acceleration Hesitation Delay.
Does anyone have a fix or solution for this problem?
I was thinking about installing these two items:
A.> JET Performance Chip Power Control Module http://www.autoanything.com/performa...0A2067797.aspx
B.> Airaid Cold Air Intake System
Does anyone have these installed?
Is JET Performance a good product?
Thanks for any help/Info!

Same here i have hesitation from a stand point and it just feels like the engine cant handle the size of the truck. I'm going to add a edge evo and a volant intake and that should take care of the problem if i'm wrong someone tell me but i think it will work

Mine used to do the same thing, it's the electronic throttle response. Nothing was wrong with it, it's just that way I guess. Installed the CAI and still had the minor lag...Installed the EDGE Evo programmer and no more electronic throttle response what so ever. Get EDGEd and you will NOT regret it, it's like driving a new truck.

Edge Evolution
i WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME HESITATION LAST NOVEMBER ON MY 06 FX4 WITH 5.4. AFTER INSTALLING A HYPERTECH PROGRAMMER NOTHING CHANGED. I RETURNED IT AND (AT THE RECOMENDATION OF COUNTLESS F150 ONLINE GURUS) PURCHASED THE EDGE EVOLUTION. I NOW PULL 9 SECOND 0-60 TIMES.
ONLY MODS I HAVE DONE ARE A ROUSH DUAL EXHAUST AND THE EVOLUTION EDGE PROGRAMMER. GO WITH THE EDGE-IT MADE A WORL OF DIFFERENCE FOR ME...

Almost like it's not getting enough fuel.

bkshl and sal150:
Do some searching on this board; the chips/tuners, and intake forums in particular. There are a bunch of happy Edge customers, but even more jovial Troyer tuned X-Cal owners. If you are looking for a tuner and intake combo you need to call Troyer Performance for the X-Cal and Air Force One combo. Apparently the Edge has gone up to the point that you can get a Troyer custom tuned X-Cal cheaper and have a better product to boot. If you search enough you'll find some people have had both and were happy with the Edge, but now have the X-Cal. Some have also traded their intake for Air Force One. I have never heard of people going the other way.
I have the X-Cal and could not be happier. Be sure to tell them you are a member here for a discount.

yeah thanks i purchased the evo a while back now its a great product but its decreasing the engine life the belts wont be able to take for much longer and it could cause a couple of major problems. so im running it on stock for everday driving and one some one opens their mouth about the f150 being a dog i switch to hp and blow their doors off!!

...will this cause a lean condition in the truck? it isnt going to open up the throttle body more at idle, will it? just takes out the lagg??
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

While I am poting this, I figured Id ask a quick question regarding responsiveness...
When I get on the gas, The actuall engine has a slight delay, but it isnt bad at all. so.... The engine will Respond pretty quickly and will rev up, butttt..... It takes a while for it to actually kick in and get to the rear tires.... Like a transmition lagg.
Also... If i put it in 1st gear and try to "hop it" (I know this isnt good for my truck, just an example) Every other push into the pedal has a quick, powerfull response. But inbetween..... when I hit the pedal, I get a bogged-down response. WHY?
My friend has a 5.3L Chevy and the fricken thing runs like a 2-stroke. Has an insane power-band. It is EXTREMELY responsive and when he "hops it" its like riding a bull. No mods to his truck besides a k&N...

my truck did the same thing. what the edge evolution does is re program the computer of the engine and makes it work harder. yes it will get rid of your hesitation i like to say that the pedal is more stiff meaning it kinda forces your foot back which creates you to push harder and you get better throttle response this happens ever so often and when it does the truck is a monster. oh and in the high performance setting the truck jumps when you touch the throttle
