Not really helpful. Have you gotten under the car to check for worn bushings? bearings? tie rod ends? Need an alignment? Been in an accident recently? Long running issue or recent occurrence?

I have checked under the car. Tightened all the bolts and look at all the bushing. Nothing seems to be out of place or worn. I just got a alignment a few weeks ago. They told me its because me passenger wheel is the power wheel? now iv never heard that before....

This can happen when launching with unequal length halfshafts but I'm not sure about this on the civic... Does it pull at ANY point in time your foot is on the gas or just when accelerating? And I'm fairly sure the DX is manual only, but manual or auto?
Did it just start happening with your alignment?

Seems? It either is or it is not. Are your shocks blown? Engine mounts? Do you know how to check for worn parts?

Re: 96 civic dx pulls to left only when given gas.......
It happens any point my foot is on the gas. as soon as i take my foot off the gas the car driving straight. but when I'm on the gas i gotta hold the wheel to the right the keep it straight. I know how to look for worn bushings. and iv had many professionals look at it including my grandpa and my father. neither of them could find anything that should be replaced. This what going on before i got my alinement, thats why i got one. But it still didn't help. Its a 5 speed. No power steering. With a/c. 227k miles.

Could be something to do with your differential or your axles. If it was bad alignment or anything like that it would most likely pull to the left even when your not accelerating. I'm thinking it is your differential, because most honda's have open differentials that only put a majority of the power to one tire. So you could just not be getting enough power to your other tire because of a bad part in the differential system.
