hey guys when i start to accelerate and i get to the 3 to 4k range it seems that sometimes it hesitates going up but there is still power, just feels like a sec it hangs back and then goes again is this normal?

 

welcome to the forums. What do u have, an auto or manual?

 

woops forgot to say i got an auto 06

 

Would the hesitation be occurring at the same time that the trans is dropping to a lower gear (or somewhat immediately after downshifting) ?

 

nope its when i press hard on the gas. im assuming its a vacuum leak but at 800miles? i was thinknig maybe its normal because the car backs off a bit with toomuch pressure or something but i guess ill take it to the dealer and check it out. i also thought it might be something with vtec?

 

could it be the vsa because it doesnt want to burn tire when it goes that high.

 

Could be. Easy enough to test your theory. Turn the VSA off, and try it. Let us know.

 

Maybe you have a bad tank of gas. Could be some water in the gas. Try and fill the tank with Chevron/Shell/76 premium gas.

 

hey guys srry ive been out of town. anyways ive tried numerous gas stations and i still have this problem. it starts when the car gets hot and only starts if rev 4500 or over around there

 

That is around Vtec engagement so maybe the hesitation is the switch over to vtec?

 

i would understand that if it was just like a second of it. but once like 5k comes around you can feel the engine gaining and pulling back
