Accelerator Issue

[Used Piston]

I just purchased a beautiful Ranger XLT 2x4 yesterday with the sport package. I've got 136 miles at this moment. I have noticed that when I put the pedal to the metal then let off, the car is still accelerating for a split second. Anybody else have this issue?

I would say at this point it's operation as designed. The truck "IS" still adaptive learning your driving style. Mine does it too. About 250 miles.

The way I think of it is that when you punch it, you are getting the engine all excited - it takes a bit for it to come back down from that high.

But like @RANGER PRIDE said, you just dumped a bunch of fuel into it, and it does need to get rid of all the excess.

It takes a split second for the diverter valve to open and dump the boost. Most turbocharged vehicles feel like that.

Not a good idea to "put the pedal to the metal" during engine break-in ...owner's manual states:

"Avoid driving too fast during the first 1,000 mi (1,500 km). Vary your speed frequently and change up through the gears early. Do not labor the engine."

The Diverter valve makes sense
