i have a 1992 vx hatch. its all stock except for rims and i hate the ones i have. any ways i was wondering what would make my car kinda hesitate under 2500 and not do it above 3000 rpms. i put fuel cleaner in it and i was wondering if the fuel filter may be clogged. the stock motor has 153xxx miles on it. i just need some opions and i also have no clue hwere the filter is. also does anyone know the overall diameter of the stock vx wheels. i have theses stupid 17s and i think my speedo is way off. at like 3500 rpm it only says im going 70-75. my wifes ex is at close to 80 or better at that rpm in fifth....any help would be cool...

 

my 92 vx did the same thing. i want to know

 

my 92 LX is 75 MPH at 3,000 RPM and your tranny is a lot longer...so the numbers dont sound THAT much off...follow a friend and do the same speed, and see how far off you are

sounds like a vtec-e problem

vtec-e engages over 2500 / 3000 rpm if im correct, and when it is not in vtec, the motor only uses 12 valves instead of 16

 

my vx does the same thing hesitates around 2500-3000 rpm. It does it like right when i let of the gas and go back on and ****. Happens at all speeds though.

 

no i have an ex tranny in mine...i forgot to metion that i had to swap them..i still think my speedo is off. also i can hear my vtech switch over and it is closer to 4000. i know i have a vx moto. i looked on the block. so i dont know...

 

I have 97 ex tranny too

 

your vtec does not switch on @ 4000 rpm. it switches on at 2200 if you have the stock motor/ecu.

 

My vx does the same little stupid hestitation...its just the motor. About your speed, its right. You have some stupid long gears.

 

all this hesitiation means.... b-series
