I've got a hesitation at normal crusing speed in my 2001 prelude. I just bought the car from a honda dealer. I've checked the plugs/wires/distributor. The fuel filter looks new so I doubt it's that any ideas?

 

If you had just bought it, im pretty sure you have a limited time warranty on the car from the dealer right? Call them up and see whats up, they can probably fix it for you... hesitation is teh loose

 

Already been done. It's going in Tuesday. But I figured I'd see if I could locate the source of the problem. Your right hesitation is the lose. It tends to do it the most under light acceleration uphills.

 

Make sure to let us know what it is. A lot of ludes have this problem so knowing what was wrong with yours will help.

 

UPDATE: Honda just called and said the car isn't throwing any codes and everything looks fine. He said "sometimes these vtec engines act a little funny under light throttle, but I just took it for a little burn and everything seems great" still sucks it hesitates though...

 

dude i know exactly what you feel like

except i have a jdm motor and mine hesitates, its wierd how usdm stock cars and jdm motors seem to have this problem

 

search for bogging/hesitation and you'll find a couple big threads. my bogging in my jdm h22 was caused be a faulty knock sensor, no cel, i checked everything and it would only bog in closed loop.

 

^^mine bogs in both open/closed, yeah there are alot of big threads about this but it seems some things work for some ppl.......hopefully we will find a definate answer or at least someone should compose a list of possible fixes
