so im driving and i take off it hesitates then kinda studders and sounds really bad what could be the problem. it was raining outside i dont know why it does it. it is a GSR motor with 120,000 miles could it be something wrong with the head or block or could it just be i need new plugs and wires? or maybe a distributor?

 

spark plugs, distributor cap + rotor, gm syncromesh, trans flush the usual, have u done the 120K tune up?

 

timing advanced to far maybe

 

time retard, crappy dizzy components, spark plugs, running rich/o2 sensor, etc.

 

its a honda?

 

crappy accell under 2k usually means congestion ... ( hence 120k) run some sea foam too !
also seen clogged cats have this effect but through out the whole powerband more

 

only happens when its cold

 

If your in this forum because you have a 92-00civic/ Sol then listen to this.

Before going any further..

look at your intake manifold...
locate your fuel rail...

on the driverside there is a metal tube that is shaped like an L sticking out.. close to the fuel rail.

Check to see if a small black tube is connected to this L looking thing.

This tube comes from the intake manifold then connects near the fuel rail.

This signals/regulates fuel pressure at idle and during acceleration.

I've seen the exact same problems you were having in your car with many other 95HB and 93-97 sols. This tube might also have some condensation.. ice forming from cold temps. GSR motor should be no different...

If this doesn't work.. sry
Try looking at your headgasket or if your valve cover is fasten correctly.

Could be cheap gas? WHen was the last time you did a tune up?? How long have you had the swap?? Check your plugs, oil, air filter, etc.

 

Just do a tune up including changing the fuel filter and all shall be well with your ride..... and dont forget to change the fuel filter... sorry i couldnt resist for those who know
