Bog down/hesitation after changing gear

[The Radium King]

i think also for cruise control - cruise disengages on clutch depression, yes? do you have cruise, and does it randomly drop out on you? perhaps initially just check the plug at the switch and hit it with some contact cleaner.

I do have cruise, but it seems to work perfectly. I had read one post somewhere where someone had an issue similar to this, but not much else around the switch and its effect on the engine.

Is it the cruise switch that could be causing this rather than the interlock switch? The symptom fits the cause that you describe perfectly. After changing gear the power is held off for longer than it should be due to a "sticky," switch.

I might give the contact cleaner a shot, but by the time I have folded myself into the footwell, it might be more prudent to change out both switches.....

Cheers,

Paul.

I have this exact same issue with my 2002 base model 986, it bogs down slightly after changing gear and starting to accelerate. I'm wondering if it's the switch that you're talking about in this thread?



There seem to be 2. I already ziptied the white one closed. Can I test the red one circled in yellow in the picture by taping the plunger closed? Or by removing it so the plunger doesn't make contact with the clutch pedal? The plunger on that switch is definatley "sticky" and doesn't go up and down freely.

Could this be my issue?
