Default Acceleration Hesitation 1996 Civic Cx

MY 1996 Honda Civic CX hesitates on acceleration when engine is cold. This usually happens in morning for the first 2-4 seconds when accelerating out of my driveway in first gear. After that it works great. Does anyone have any solutions? Thanks. For all the fans who think I should wait a few seconds....well..... I also have a 1989 Honda Civic CX which doesn't have that problem.

And welcome to the board.

Seriously though, it doesn't sound that bad, someone here should be able to help you out better.

you should wait until your car warms up before you mash it..

mine will do that when it is cold and have the A/C on. Try turning the A/C off if you have it on when the engine is cold. Though mine will hesitate anyway if the car is warmed up, but when I turn the A/C off it works fine.
