Car picks up slow
ok so my car picks up slow in first gear until about 4 secs around 2.5k rpm. it sounds like its sorta bogging and then it picks up and every other gear is perfect.. it drives perfect besides the fact that it picks up slow when i take off. could it be the tranny? or the clutch? someone told me it could be the forward clutch.. help?
no help? =(
wheres tech5 and no mo honda when u need em!
You didn't by chance mess with your timing recently, did you? Something like that is usually a symptom of being off a tooth on you timing belt.
If not, what else have you done recently?
"Horsepower is no substitute for brains, fuckers."
fuel pump/filter mayb
^ hopefully because i get bad gas mileage also..
any other ideas?
its sounds like a fuel problem, my car acts the same if i turn my fuel pressure to low.
Either, timing,tune up, fuel filter(which I doubt that), stopped up cat!
Check your tune up, timing first, BTW does it seems to be fine once you get up an moving along? or gets worse when it gets hot (car temp gauge is in the warm) Not the car running hot!
If the cat is clogged, won't it get worse as you speed up more?
:idb:

yeah my buddys ls was misfiring and i sware to god it felt like his car was gonna fall apart, so that could def be it.
change your plugs
^thnx. ima do a tune up
do plugs,wires,cap an rotor
check your oxygen sensors man. same deal happened to me. it was real slow and hesitant until around 3k and picked up. and burned hella alot of gas. so check them. is your cel on?
yes
if your running really rich then thats what i think it is.
go to advance auto and have them run the comp on the
ecu and see what they say...
it was the timing.. i fixed it. but now it throws aP0171 code System too Lean (Bank 1)
what do i start first with this one?
yo this could be a bad mas air flow sensor or a vacuum leak down past the sensor.try cleaning your maf sensor and check your hoses for any leaks.
also check the fuel filter and make sure its clean
yeahhh dats da way to go. my cousins 4 door ls had gsr plugs, wires, cap and rotors and it was misfiring like CRAZY!

i heard it could also be the o2 sensor.. i remember i saw the upstream one and it was bad. and i think my fuel filter needs to be changed also. ima check for any leaks today but i dont think i have any vacuum leaks.
hell yea, check the 02 sensor for sure.....
