Acceleration problem

After having some serious brake work done, I noticed my car has lost its "Pick up N Go". There is a slight hesitation for a couple of seconds, then it takes off. Any theories on what is the problem and how to correct it. <BR>

could be that your brakes were overtightened. Happened to mine, just have the guys put some slack back in. Does the hand brake engage in only 1 or 2 clicks?

Hola!<P> Hey check the vaccuum hose that goes to the power brake booster. Maybe they cracked the elbow causing a leak. You would lose power...So good luck.<P> Jarid Perry<BR> 94 Blaze Red RS<BR> 14.62@99.4<BR> <BR>

Check the on line service manual for the specs for the parking brake, it says 5-7 clicks for the proper adjustment. It also gives you the directions of how to adjust it if you want to try it yourself.
