Default 1993 Honda Civic DX won't peel out.

Its a 1993 Honda Civic DX Coupe
similar to Del Sol
VTech SOHC
1.6
While making a complete stop and I push the gas and it bogs out. It takes its time to get to speed up. I let go of the gas pedal and push it again it goes and finally runs normal. I try to avoid the stop and go's. Speed over forty it rides smooth.
What is my car's problem?

Honestly man, with a topic like that, you are likely to only get flaming responses.

Figuring out why your car won't "peel out" is not exactly what this forum is about.

With that said, how is the car running while idling? I had a similar issue with my car and the simple fix was to replace the distributor cap and rotor. The contacts had been worn down, and that caused the issue. The car would sporadically bog down while driving at low speeds, but at higher speeds it was not an issue.

You need to describe the issue a bit better. There could be several possible problems.

I'm sure others will chime in, or flame. One way or another, I don't see my response being the only one.

Seriously? If you are going to make comments like that, at least TRY to be funny.

id like to answer the question. Your car is a 1993 DX but if the engine is stock is a 1.5 litre and it probably has around 96 hp that car was not made to burn out it was made to get 35 mpg
