i have an 2003 honda civic coupe ex. its an automatic. for some reason when i drive my car and when i stop and let go of the brake it should move foward. my car for some odd reason it moves exxtremely slow. any explanation? thanks

 

Its a D17 lmao!!!!

 

damn...beat me to it

 

My thinking also... Drop a K20 into that biatch and trust me u will notice a difference

 

Hmm, I have the same problem on my 2002 Civic auto sedan. So, either of you gentlmen want to explain just whats wrong with our cars? Other cars iv driven will go much faster when i let go of the brake but my civic doesnt move at all most of the time, and if it does move its very slowly as oppsed to a decent speed the other cars do.

 

Well its a auto, so its probably not going to be that fast to start with and second its a civic its not really meant to go fast in stock form.

 

wow ... some of these people don't know how to read.

They're not complaining about the car being fast, they're complaining that while at stop the car barely moves when the brake is let off, even though it's in drive. Most auto cars tend to accelerate a bit on their own when doing this.


I don't have any good reason for the problem, but i've noticed it in almost every auto honda i've ever driven. WIth that said, it's not really a problem at all .. probably just the way they're set up from the factory.

you could probably adjust the throttle cable a bit, since i know hondas are known to have a bit of slack from the factory anyway. unless your car is drive by wire ... which i'm not sure of since i usually stay in the sub 2000 range when working on cars.

 

i do know how to read...i also have an auto...D17= No power

 

And I do to and I repost/requote....."Its a D17" Lmao

 

push that ish faster

 

i have heard thoes cars have problems with the throttle position sensors and i think sometimes they need to replace the whole trottle body. i think they are in the technical service bulletins.

 

go do dealer and have them check the idle meter or whatever its called. you're supposed to anyway

also? you have proper oil in the car right?

 

it's purposely set up like that to save gas...when the car is at idle rpm while in gear, the rpm's are set to be as low as possible (without stalling).

 

yeah, i recently got my oil done at a honda dealership.

 

When did you have your last trans service (replace fluid) done?

you are prob overdue. and dirty/low trans fluid can cause this problem. iv seen it first hand (im a tech)
