Recently purchased this car, have done minor tune-up (changed air filter, PCV valve, plugs, oil/filter, tranny fluid and two bottles of injector cleaner).

When pressing the accelerator you must do it slowly or the car will "bog" down, once the speed reaches 15-20mph it accelerates fine.

This condition makes it a little nerve racking when trying to get out at busy intersections!!

Any suggestions for improvement?

TIA

 

2 bottles of fuel injector cleaner? did you mix up the spark plug wires,

 

Added the bottles on different tanks.

No, I believe the wires are in the right order but will double check.

 

Yep, I've got the same problem. Been that way for awhile now and I can't figure out what the deal is.

 

check for codes, could be a bad TDC sensor inside the distrubutor

 

Pardon my ignorance but how do you go about finding these codes?

 

look for a blue 2 pin connector on the front passenger side kick panel, jump
the connector and turn key to accessory on, look at the check engine light if it
blinks count the long blinks and short blinks

 

Thanks, I'll check it out

my car bogs too...96 EX 5sp, i havent done a tune up yet tho. maybe its that.
wouldnt the light only blink if its steadily on while the engine is on?

 

did you change the fuel filter? and des it idle properly? try tb cleaner but make sure its fi safe

 

do you count it like long long short long short short. or 4 longs 3 shorts.?? what do ou do after you have done that

 

It idles smooth, but I have not replaced the fuel filter.

Someone said it could be the torque converter?
