Default 07 LX hesitation

Got a 07 LX with 70k miles on it, sometimes it would hesitate and sometime it drive fine.

Does this sound like the filter is getting clogged up in the tank?

Any mods on your car? Can you elaborate a little more on your story.

No mods, 100% stock.

No CEL or anything, it would drive normal but than stumble/hesitate at times

70k is nothing. There is a guy on the ocho that has well over 300k on his 8th gen civic.

OP...I would start by replacing your fuel filter. Even if that isn't the problem, replacing it at 70k miles is a really good idea. Then I would check the air filter to make sure it doesn't need to be replaced. This should solve your problem, but let us know what happens.

*edit: Another thing I just thought of...if changing the fuel filter doesn't work and the air filter is fine, you should also check your spark plugs before you start to get worried. Good luck and let us know what happens.

You gotta put food on the table mang. In ironwork im always on the road and when work is slow you drive where the work is. Most i drove in two months was like 10k 250ish round trip to make a buck.BTW its probly on 54 miles from his house.

Fair enough.

If that's the case, he must go home for lunch.

Are you sure the hesitation isn't just from the electronic throttle?

How long have you had the car?
