Re: No power when pressing gas pedal
I'll show you descriptive:
A previous problem my 94 Civic EX had was that it had no power when pressing the gas pedal. From a complete stop I would go into first gear and in order to get moving I would have to floor it. The car would not accelerate for maybe two seconds before the RPM increased and the car started accelerating like normal. I would sometimes rev the engine in neutral and slip the clutch in order to get going. Turned out my engine timing was way off.
That's how you frakkin' describe a possible "No power when pressing gas pedal" problem.
So when you press the gas and the car doesn't accelerate, what are you doing? Is the pedal to the floor? Are you slightly pressing the pedal like you would in a car with no problems?
What do you mean by "not accelerating"? Is the car staying at a steady speed of 0 or 1mph or is it increasing in speed but at a slow rate?
What is the engine doing? Is the RPM increasing? Does the engine get loud?
It's annoying reading so many posts by people with poor grammar, bad spelling, or just otherwise can't get their damn point across. I see the same **** in papers written by college students.
