The VX hesitating
i have a 95 vx. I was just curious what the problem is when you give it some gas it will hesitate for a minute then go? only sometimes, and it's when I floor it. Only in 3rd gear and up though. thanks

My old VX motor had that problem. I never did find out what it was though cause I swapped the motor. There, that's your solution. Swap the motor
Seriously though, I changed the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, pcv valve, injectors, and fuel filter. Nothing helped the hesitation. Either a dirty TB or some other sensor I didn't check.

Re: The VX hesitating (VXpride)
Maybe it has something to do with the lean burn system on the VX models that causes them to act up with age. Clogged close coupled cat? Flakey 5-wire 02's? Carbon build-up in the CC's?

Re: The VX hesitating (nsxmatt)
i've got the same problem. vtec transition happens around approx 2500 rpm. mine seems to only do it in the 2-3k rpm range. i think it is linked to the lean burn issue. thinking the ecu is stumbling into vtec transition.
i've already got a sohc vtec swap sitting in the garage. once i get a header/exhaust system, i think i'm gonna swap them on for a couple of weeks and see if the stumble stops. that will eliminate the cat issue for sure.

The EGR setup is faulty with age, that is a common problem with those types of symtoms. I have a 92 VX and had the same trouble about 3 years ago. Remedy: 99 B18C1 swap, no hesitation now

Re: The VX hesitating (VTECVillain)
Could be the lack of horse power.. or lack of torque.. or all around shittyness of that nasty vx engine.. i was glad to get that **** out of my baby.. .. My tranny sounded like metal on metal.. and thats because it was..

Re: The VX hesitating (Majin-Hatchy-Ownzjo0)
yeah, i'm gonna try a p28 and see how it works. I also have the worst tranny grind ever. Both of my VX's did this bullshit grind and i'm never buyin a stock vx ever again unless it's to do one big *** burnout and blow the engine.

Re: The VX hesitating (VXpride)
thats the thing, a couple of months ago, i got a slip from the gov. saying i need to take an emissions test, but since i'm away at school, the car aint at use, so i sent that little post card saying i need to delay the testing...
but you have a 95 VX, i have a 92..maybe that could be the difference...any 92 vx owners out there??
