Exclamation Difficulty accelerating uphill

Hey, guys. I finally got a new throttle sensor in my 2.7L V6 Charger SXT to solve the problem with my ETC light. After that, it feels fine accelerating until my car either turns or goes uphill. Everytime I turn or go uphill (mostly when going uphill), I start accelerating but it feels like it's not moving as fast as it should normally. Any ideas would be great...thanx...

Not sure what to say about the acceleration issue. Try resetting the PCM, on the 5.7 it's done by pulling fuse 11 or unhooking the battery for a few minutes, I do not know if the 2.7 works the same with fuse 11 but unhooking the negative wire from the battery works.

Who swapped out the throttle sensor, did you do it or a dealership?

The dealership did it. They did the swap in the beginning of January. Also, my engine is a 3.5L V6, not a 2.7L (my mistake). I feel like I have to apply more pressure on the accelerator to gain speed...it takes me about 15-20 secs to go from 0-60 mph. I find that really slow. Don't know if that might answer your question...

You might want to start by resetting the PCM's hardware adaptive learning by unplugging the battery for a few minutes. If that doesn't help run it by the dealership for their thoughts.
