Took off pretty hard a couple of times to get into traffic today at lunch shifting at 6500 (redline is 6700) and then notices at the next light that everything suddenly felt soft. Thats the only way I can describe it. The car seems suddenly quieter now, doesn't seem to be as throttle responsive, almost but not quite hesitant, and sometimes it actually seemed to almost die, knock, then go when I start off without enough gas now. No check engine lights to indicate an issue.

Was reading around and found the following thread on the timing belt and wondered if it jumped a tooth? The car only has 2500 miles on it, so I made an appointment for it, but am almost thinking it shouldn't be driven until then or brought in sooner.

Any opinions on this? I just have a huge sinking sensation in my gut on this, I waited 1000 miles before starting to step into the vtec on the car, did I not wait long enough?

 

i wouldnt think it would be a "jumped tooth"

could be any number of things

 

Sorry for the delay in response, it was bad gas...no more Shell V-Power for any of my cars. Switched back to BP Premium and after a tank of gas the problem went away.
