nickf829 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I just bought a 92 civic vx hatch, its completely stock, 92,000 miles. I didnt notice it when i test drove it, but once i was bringing it home, i noticed on the highway that when im trying to maintain any highway speed (40, 55, 65, 70, etc) ill get a random hesitation, its nothing huge, but ill be pressing the pedal like normal, but then the car will suddenly feel like ive lost all my acceleration, itll slow down for a second but then it feels like it catches again and its back to normal, the RPMs dont go up or down, the car just feels like it loses all its power for a second. itll do it no matter what gear im in, as long as im maintaining speed. it wont do it if im accelerating. anyone heard of this or have any suggestions? i have the cars complete maintenance history and receipts, if that helps thanks NICK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattpalmeris Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 haha i dont want the fact it is a VX to be the problem. theres no CEL on btw anything else? I have 3 vx's all to the same thing. This link has some info http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=16...postid=21318143 "-"lean burn mode" a mode the motor uses at a certain % of throttle position and lower. not bad at all, does what it is supposed to but when you NEED the power, it seems that the ECU takes a long time to respond to a upped throttle position % creating a sorta "struggle" or "hesitation" before the halrdly acclaimed "power" kicks in" Its just the way it is.

cranny Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 could be tuneup issues , definitely not clutch or fuel pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 ...itll slow down for a second ... the RPMs dont go up or down It slows down but the RPMs don't go up or down? Anyway, just an off-chance - I have seen it mentioned in HF before and a friend had a similar problem with a Mustang a while back. Check that your battery connectors are not loose or corroded.
