It sounds like you’re experiencing a fuel delivery issue with your 2010 Equinox. A delay in fuel delivery after shifting into gear can be attributed to several potential problems. Here are some possibilities:
Fuel Pump Issues: The fuel pump may be failing or struggling to maintain proper pressure, causing a delay in fuel delivery.
Fuel Filter: A clogged fuel filter can restrict fuel flow, leading to hesitation when accelerating.
Fuel Injectors: If the fuel injectors are dirty or malfunctioning, they may not deliver the right amount of fuel to the engine promptly.
Fuel Pressure Regulator: A faulty fuel pressure regulator can lead to inconsistent fuel flow, causing delays.
Spark Plugs/Ignition System: Sometimes issues with the ignition system can feel like fuel delivery problems. Worn spark plugs or ignition coils might cause hesitation.
Throttle Position Sensor (TPS): A malfunctioning TPS can send incorrect signals to the engine control unit (ECU), affecting engine performance.
Air Intake Issues: Make sure there are no air intake blockages, as they can also cause performance delays.
It’s best to get your Equinox checked by a certified mechanic. They can run diagnostic tests to pinpoint the issue and recommend the right repairs.
