ok listen ,i have a stock 97 cl 3.0 ,engine sounds sexi like the usual honda engines but my first gear is weeeaaaak ,like at a red light i would have to use 3-4 rpm in order to move at a good rate TO MATCH other drivers next to me,this doesnt sound right,it feels like a geo metro can pass me starting off.

is this how the 3.0 is or do i have a problem?

note that its a rebuilt tranny,i have 130 k on it,rebuilt was done at 105 k

and how much can i play with the idle to start off easily?(through throttle cable)
