Replying to: cbmorton (Aug 06, 2007 3:15 pm) The ACIS is realized by using a bulkhead to divide the intake manifold into 2 stages, with an intake air control valve in the bulkhead being opened and closed to vary the effective length of the intake manifold in accordance with the engine speed and throttle valve opening angle. This increases the power output in all ranges from low to high speed. • When the intake control valve closes: While the engine is running at medium speed under high load, the ECM controls the actuator to close the control valve. As a result, the effective length of the intake manifold is lengthened and the intake efficiency, in the medium speed range, is improved due to the dynamic effect of the intake air, thereby increasing power output. • When the intake control valve opens: Under any condition except when the engine is running at medium speed under high load, the ECM controls the actuator to open the control valve. When the control valve is open, the effective length of the intake air chamber is shortened and peak intake efficiency is shifted to the low to high engine speed range, thus providing greater output at low to high engine speeds.

Replying to: cbmorton (Aug 07, 2007 7:23 am) I dunno, my V6 was quick before, quick now, no hesitation before or after. My mileage did improve but it was breaking in and that might have happened anyway. For people reporting hesitation, though, it's something worth considering, IMO, if their engine has a similar intake. |

Hi Folks, taking a look at CR-V and RAV4. I am concerned about the engine revving and not moving the car forward. My folks 03 Explorer is the SLOWEST transmission to shift - its delay is very pronounced. I dont think its unsafe since the car is slow even when you floor it. Is this on all 4-cyl models? Just some? What is the reasons for the hesisation? I see this happens with Camry's and Solaras as well. I just want a safe, reliable auto for my fiance. IF the tranny is like the explorer's - just lazy, I don't care I am used to Fords

Replying to: 01taurussel (Oct 02, 2007 4:04 am) I have the V6 - it's only slightly thirstier than the four-cylinder. I get a consistent 21-22 mpg around town and 27-28 on the highway, even 29-30 a couple of times. |

Thats not bad for gas mileage at all.......I wonder why Edmunds got like 16-17mpg ? Lead foot?

Replying to: 01taurussel (Oct 02, 2007 4:57 am) If you want the V6, get the V6. Consumer Reports noted only a 1 mpg difference between the V6 and the 4 banger RAV4.
