Having an acceleration issue
 

I have no idea whats goin on, but it seems like if i come around a corner and gun it, it bogs down then it almost feels like i have nitrous. The engine just kicks in and goes. It doesnt really bog, it just does not go anywhere.

Would a dirty airfilter be the culprit? I have no clue.

slipping tranny :dunno:

5 speed

could it be a clutch issue?

:doh:


edit:

maybe a fuel filter or fuel pump.

If it were that wouldnt it be all the time rather than just around a corner?

Im clueless.

not necessarily. (sp?) Since you are giving it more gas after a turn, its suffocating itself more and hesitating more.

what happens if you gun it while going straight?

Its fine. Beat a neon this morning on the way to work with no problems (other than lack of traction)

lol @ you having to spank a Neon to know that your CL was ok.. Poor Neon.

well no matter what u should beat a neon. I beat a 90 camaro V8

I HAD THE EXACT same issue !!!!!!!! add more oil to your engine !!! or get an oil change. THAT is the issue ill bet money on it !!!

I had kind of had a similar problem. I was going through the canyons by my house, on a turn i down shifted going into the turn and then when all of a sudden it seemed that my rev limit kicked in. but i was only at 4000 rpm, and had to immediately shift. I changed my oil the next day and haven't had that problem again.

yup, its the oil like i said. Vtec require oil to run properly. Without enough, it feels like youve disconnected the solonoid for a bried second ..and once the oil sloshes back to level, it kicks in.

Poor Neon? Arnt they poor from the factory?

:yes: Tin cans on wheels :turd:

you better have no problems with that shit :tomato:

I merked a civic tonight. I guess my oil is up to level.
