In my civic (00 EX AUTO 35000 miles) gear changes too soon. Thats the reason I am not get ting enough torque and my car runs slow. I already change fluid.
Anyone know what might be problem

 

change it to a manual and it will shift better (that is only if you know how to drive)

 

Have you replaced the ECU? If not, it is changing gears exactly when it is supposed to. Also, your car doesn't have torque.

 

correction..

HONDAS don't have torque :x

 

at what RPM does it change gears?

I have to hit gas all the way to reach 4000 rpm. Car is not running like it suppose to.

No ****, it's a civic.

You need one of these, but I have a feeling you'd kill yourself:

Ahhh, now we're getting somewhere. Have you made any changes to the vehicle recently?

 

Are you throwing any codes? Maybe you're just running in some weird safe mode...

I changed spark plugs at 10000 miles. I was thinking to change plugs and wires. But It got only 35000 miles on it. So I don't think I need to. Is there any way to check if they are bad?

 

then you should take the car to the honda dealership...

 

it has 35000 miles on it and you have only changed the plugs once?

it is good practice to change them every 8,000-10,000 miles for best performance

maintenence is the key to making your car last......also with only 35000 miles on it isn't it still under warranty....if so just take it to the dealer and let them deal with it

yup taking it to the dealership would be your best bet

My car has R title so I don't think dealership will check it free.

 

Still sounds like ECU to me. Is this a new development (car running like ****) or has it always been that way?

When I bought my car it had 10000 miles on it and it is runing like this eversince. Everthing is stock motor is clean. It was sitting at one place for one year before I bought it.

 

What is an R title? Rebuilt? If so, they probably used the wrong ECU.

Why did you buy a car that ran crappy anyway?

When I bought my car it was hit (Minor damage). Everything in car is stock so ECU is stock too. Car is in excellent condition.
