Wheels breaking traction easy ?
Hello everyone I'm having a weird problem. When I first start car and let it warm up if I put in drive and accelerate a little too hard the wheels spin. Doing a little burnout so I have to slowly throttle it. This isn't me flooring it, this is just me taking off. He happens mostly when I first drive the car then it kinda goes away. Could this be my torque converter going ? I had new fluid put in last year when I replaced one of the tranny solenoids. I feel like I'm driving a 600hp car that just breaks loose when I accelerate, I wouldn't mind if I actually had that ! Lol
If the trans temp is cold like below 70 degrees on the trans it does shift harder from what I have experienced. If you talking about acceleration from stop. There could be a few things. most likely being sticking throttle cable/throttle body. I recommend cleaning the throttle body and maybe lubrication of the cable to the throttle body. If the throttle cable/body is sticking your pressing on the peddle and nothing is happening until it breaks free and that position is if a lot more throttle than you intended.

Can it be a TPS issue? Perhaps it is malfunctioning where it skips over light throttle response. If you have s live scanner see what the TPS reading is at idle and during initial acceleration.
