I have a 92 Civic Lx when i am driving in a steady pace of acceleration after i shift the car kinda looses power/or lags then it comes right back.
any suggestions on what this might be.

Could be timing, have you checked it lately? Also, how are the plugs? Are the wires old? Could also be a fueling issue, how is your fuel filter looking?

Re: Is it the timing (rodrez)
Um plugs and wires are a little old Ill check em out. Replaced fuel filter about 6,000 miles ago
Iv owened the car for about 12,000 miles never checked timing.Is that a basic at home thing to check or would i have to take it to a shop.
Oh i also had to replace the gas tank a little while back and i used the salvaged fuel pump because it looked better than mine could that be an issue.

Yes, it definately could be the culprit.

If you're not sure what a timing light is, take it to a shop and have them check it for you. That old fuel pump could be the problem for sure...pull it out of the tank and check to see if the filtering sock is ok (ie: not collapsed and blocking the intake or full of crap).
