Default Speed Droping During Acceleration

When I first start my car for the day or when ever i leave it off for a while and drive off,i press the pedal and it speed then stops speeding and for some reason the acceleration goes down, the speedometer doesnt speed up it drops like you down shifting, dosnt want to accelerate. i have to let off the pedal and press it again a few times for it to speed up then drives normal.it only does it when first starts, its fine after it been driven for a while or warm up.

its because the motor is cold. Dont beat on it till you give it a chance to warm up. You cannot engage vtec until the motor is warm either.

its all on normal driving no heavy speeding. before though i just wait a few min and it runs fine. now i wait like usual and it does that deceleration even though i gas it. but like you said its probably the motor being cold. it drives normal after i ride it for a while

are you sure cause i live in canada where it gets to -35ish in the winter and my oil is the viscositly of honey and my clutch petal has a delayed reaction when i release because the car is so cold and it still revs more or less fine.... are you sure its not condensation in the distributor cap??? try changing the cap and the rotor. i was getting the same problem in the mornings when it was damp out
