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.

5 speed

 

could it be a clutch issue?

 

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?

 

Tin cans on wheels

 

you better have no problems with that shit

 

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