I have a 97 Prelude with the H22a4 engine automatic. My idle is fine it doesnt drop or fluctuate however when I am at a dead stop it has sluggish acceleration no matter how hard or soft I press the gas pedal but accelerates fine once the rpms are up and the vtec system works fine. I've already replaced the plugs and wires, dist. cap and rotor however the slow acceleration didnt change.

The day I bought the car

 

Any CEL codes? Does it feel like the transmission is slipping?

 

Theres no codes coming up even when I plug in my scanner. However the trans does slip when i cold start it but as it warms up when i drive around the slippage goes away. I noticed it will slip going from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd is fine, and slips going from 3rd to 4th
