Hey guys...i have an off and on issue with a very slight hesitation in 3rd gear after vtec engages. once my b16b hits vtec in third gear it hesitates...almost seems like its bogging for like 2 or 3 seconds. Any ideas

 

ttt

 

Nevermind...search started working for me. I have plenty to read through...lock and delete post please.

EDIT: Went through archives...nothing with similar symptoms. Anyone have any ideas

have you tried a tune up? you know the regular, plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc.

 

clutch not catching?

That is something i have not done...or even thought about. no matter how many times you think youve done everything there is always somehting you forget. ill get one in a few minutes and put it in tonight.

 

Tell me how it goes after you replace the fuel filter.

waiting..

 

its the ecu, i don't know why but i also have a b16b and i used to run the stock civic type r ecu. i changed to a phearable.net chipped p28 ecu and all the weird hesitation problems went away, in fact it felt like a whole different moter and much more responsive and smooth, also under 4000 rpm with the stock ecu it almost felt like it was bogging when i floored it, now it just pulls. buying that ecu is the best upgrade i ever did.

Thanks for the info...i have been looking into a chipped p28 and hondata...i just havent gotten around to purchasing it. Im going to do the fuel filter first then if that doesnt work ill bite the bullet and get the p28

 

no problem, i was so freakin pleased with my new ecu it wasn't funny, oh and btw if it only does it in third gear its not a fuel filter problem, but it probably needs changing anyway

 

i had the same issuses, but my motor was untuned with cams and pistons and bolt-ons, got my car tuned from phearable.net and npw the car no longer boggs and hauls *** guy knows his tuning

 

I'm not thinking that the fuel filter is going to cause hesitation at one particular point. I think you ought to swap ECUs and see what happens.

 

Thanks for the input guys...I will most likely be picking up the ECU next paycheck...i have to solve my vibration problem first. im pretty sure its my axle. it popped out of the tranny a couple of weeks ago and ever since i put it back in i have a vibration under acceleration
