Rep Power: 0 Weird stuttering problem 2001 Honda ex
The problem that I am having is not occurring all the time, but it does happen often enough to annoy and get my attention. Here is what happens :
I start the car, and everything is fine, no lights no problems
Then I have to shift into either reverse or drive to get out of my parking spot, and this is where the problem happens
I press on the gas to get moving and sometimes the engine stutters. i look down at the dash and the rotations are almost at zero, so i let off the gas and this continues for a few seconds, the rotations then fly up to 2,000 and then back to normal idling (700-500 rpms) and only then can i actually move my car. Can anyone tell me whats going on?

if you step on the gas and it just revs in drive its most likely a bad transmission. the 2001 model is notorious for failing automatic transmissions some don't last 50,000 miles. otherwise try cleaning your IACV and throttle body see if that helps at all https://www.civicforums.com/forums/1...e-up-mods.html

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Lowlife: his engine isn't revving up, it is dying.
I'd probably start with watching fuel pressure while this event is happening, just to get an idea of what might be causing it to stumble. Then troubleshoot, depending on what I see.
