could be fuel problem, possibly O2 sensor believe it or not. Why you ask O2?
>> My car acted as if it was running out of gas when i would drive it normal (granny status) Changed fuel filter, cleaned injectors, changed FPR, still has problem. Change O2 sensor, problem goes away hasn't returned yet

The O2 can effect the way your car runs dramatically. Surprised the hell out of me

i thought that if there was an O2 dtc the ecu runs the car in closed loop?? if the O2 was bad and nothing else shouldnt it just run closed loop and waste gas a little?

Did you ever find out what the problem was? I have a 92 civic (automatic) and sometimes when I go to accelerate it'll do the same thing. Its dangerous when I'm making left turns and there's a car coming. It'll creep forward for a second or 2 b4 it actually takes off. I've only had it for a little bit but it seems to be worse if I have the air conditioner on.
