has anyone ever had a problem with the fuel and ignition.. to where when you mashedyour pedal it lacks but whenyou let off you can feel it begin to pull... cause i have had this for a while and i can shot it down after i replaced alot of stuff... someone help me out i wanna throw on some aftermarket but im not going to till i get this squared away...

i think that is just the nature of these cars, i find that the car accelerates quicker if I just push the pedal halfway down.

same here. I thinkn when you mash the throttle too far down intially, you flood the chambers with too much fuel and not enough air thus the hesitation.

-K-

when I mash my throttle my car makes this funny noise. It's kind of like a "WHOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHH" sound. Weird.

so since everyone has the problem i do.. then why don't my g/f's gst have it??? what causes it? i just can't stand it. it hasn't always done it

first off have you adjusted your throtle calbe any?? if not than go to this. take off the tubing that goes from your intake to your air filter. long and black on the right side. than with a bottle of say wd-40 (2+2 gum cutter or carb cleaner will work better) spray in your throtle body. hose it down pretty well. than use either a small wire brush or an old tooth brush and a rag to srcub out all th black gunk in there. when your layin on the spray besure to open your throtle body. do this buy grabbing the throttle cable and pulling it up towards the hood. make sure to scrub the top of the peice that moves inside. once your done scrubbin start your car up and go for a ride. you should get a good amount of black stuff out . good luck.

thanks beefgg for the sig

yeah i know it may be faster but the thing is she can't beat me.... she still in training she has blown one motor already on the last day of her warranty luckily(it was replaced forfree).. but she still don't understand the meaning of 5 and 6000 rpms. but when i get in it i scare her so needless to say idon't get to drive it very often

by the way everyone thinks mine has a turbo cause when i rev it up it has that distingushed whilstle/whin to it...dothey all do that

Amish_Eclipse is right. I have never had any problems with hesitation when I mash my gas peddal down. Sounds like throtle plate problem or something else.

so what are you all sayin possibly bored throttle body time or what??? if so any ideas where i can get it done at??

dam you have to trade cars with her, shes going to beat you someday and what an awful day that will be, I would say check the slack in your throttle cable

Mine is at and that means it has the hesitation problem. I have tried cleaning and tighting the cables. I got it pretty good know though. However my car when I mash the gas dont whistle I makes a clunk sound k=like something banging itto something else right before It launches. however in 1 inworks fine.

That klunk sound could be the ball joint recall. I think the recall is on most 96s. I had the same sound on my 96 everytime I accelerated, and when I took the car in to have the recall done, it stopped.

Hmm I get the same problem but it's only when the car is warming up. After the engine is running at normal temp it goes away. Been doing this for a couple months so far. Heh I think my intake manifold is extremely dirty, does that thing with the spraying of TB cleaner in the manifold work? It won't harm the internals will it, I know a lot of shit is gonna come out of th exhuast. I might just do this, before summer hits. I know my intake piping is clean though cuz I got a catch can

The sound you are hearing before you car warms up are your lifters ticking. Mine does the same thing....actually there are alot of people on here that experience this. I don't think its all the big a problem to worry about though.

I've heard this problem posted to the boards at least 5 times, and still have yet to hear a good solution. For the record, mine does it too. I have an 99'RS w/AT & Hahn Stage II.

I mash on the pedal from a stop and it hits some sort of wall at about 3k, engine gets all quiet & no power but the turbo is spooling and whooshing all loud. Then I ease off the throttle, and vrooom power kicks in again at about 1/2 throttle, and I can mash it all the way back down from there.

If I'm on a hill or something I can get this hesitation all the way up the hill if I don't let off... all you hear is SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHTTTTT and the engine sounds like it's idling. I like using it to scare off Hondas, but its ANNOYING when I try and boost for real. My only *guesses* are: Fuel Cut caused by a bad FCD (Fuel Cut Defencer), too much air (overboost?) which gets "fixed" by the ECU and just makes the engine go stupid. There's got to be a better explanation... anyone?

Dan

thats pretty much bout what mines does. the only thing mine don't do is go whooshhhhhh since im runnin non turbo... but i know if feels like it does wanna go but it doesnt around 3k's... man oh man does it piss me off but i got my light to finally go out and still runnin like that can't be a tune up just did one bout 3000 miles ago..please someonetry to figure this out... im a tire tech at tirediscounters and my mechanic's cant even figure it out... please someone help me get back in the mood to beatin honda's

I think the auto kicks it into the upper RPMs before going on WOT to put more kick on it or something I dunno
