Slow acceleration question
I have 08' 4 door wrangler with 4 inch suspension lift, 35 inch wheels and automatic transmission. I know I'm not driving a sports car. However, I noticed that sometimes when I give it the gas to accelerate fairly quickly, there seems to be a delay of a second before the engine revs up. Is this normal or could it be related to the oversize tires? If not normal, is it correctable?
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

this is why some people feel that the JK has much less torque than the older jeeps as they "JUMPED" out the gate and LURCHED with fierceness with a slight tap of the throttle.

I have been having an issue that sounds just like this. Mine has been a fuel injector problem that has been fixed by fuel injector cleaner. A short term solution
