NOTE: the 2010-2011 Saab 9-5 is built on a new platform, and has almost nothing in common with the 1st generation 9-5 (1998-2009)
Hi folks. My mom has a 2011 Saab 9-5 Turbo 4 (not the premium) Ever since I started driving it, I’ve noticed there is a delay from when you push on the throttle to when the engine actually revs. My mom does’t notice it, but she’s not really alert on those things. It’s always had some delay according to my dad, but he nearly was hit pulling out of a busy intersection and had to wait 1/2 second for the car to respond to the pedal.
So naturally my dad wants to address it. The car has 42,000 miles. It used to randomly throw a P0014 code, but the engine light has been off for over a year now. So little information on the NG9-5.
Hope someone can give me clues. I’m thinking perhaps cleaning the throttle body and MAF might help, but would that be an issue at only 42,000 miles. I’ve noticed hesitation since I first drove it at 27,000 miles, it doesn’t seem worse, but my dad doesn’t like it, and neither do I.

Unfortunately these new drive by wire cars have a 2-3 second delay when you mash
the throttle. Not like the cable driven throttle which for me had immediate response.
if that 2-3 second delay is there the turbo will delay in spool up. The P0014 is for camshaft
position actuator b bank one timing over advanced. You may not be getting the engine light/code
but the actuator may not be working or is stuck. low or dirty oil can cause this. more in this link.
