Greetings, I have a 2011 ford Focus ses and I will try to make this email short and to the point
I recently researched the air box and MFA sensor difference between the 2010 focus and 2011 focus.
Since the same air box and MFA were used on both vehicles, I decided to buy an 2010 ford focus K & N CAI since the 2011 was not available.
The CAI works fine, however, at times there is a throttle lag which become dangerous if you are in the middle of an intersection and floor it, noticing you are not going anywhere for a while. By the time the car moves, you could have been hit by a car.
Therefore and since I cannot get a refund for the CAI, will this SCT Performance Chip tuner work on the 2011 ford focus and will this tuner solve the throttle lag problem?
In fact, why is the throttle lag happing, I do not undestand since it is the same air box, engine and MFA. In addition, there is no engine light.
Thanks,
let me emphasize that I am not out to convert my car into a race car, I simply wanted to add a CAI to further improve the gas mileage which it did. I went from 29 MPG to 37 MPG on the HWY. Since I cannot get a refund on the CAI I need a solution. Based on the throttle lag, will a performance chip solve this problem? Otherwise, the CAI goes on ebay.
