New to hondas my 4 door ex is really slow when you step on the gas seems like it will only start moving in high rpms what can cause this?

Also how can i tell which transmission i have it says S40 than some random numbers but no b000 or a000

Your clutch and flywheel come together and the flywheel says " You will NOT spin as fast as me ". In other words, you need a new clutch and flywheel resufacing because the clutch is slipping to the extreme. That's my best guess.

smelling burnt clutch much? lol, like tbohar mentioned it sounds like your clutch has taken a crap on you and you need to replace it.

clutch does not slip it just seems to rev really slow even when the pedal is all the way down then starts to pick up after 3500 rpms but still doesnt pick up fast

Okay then, clean your throttle body... these cars are natrually slow unless you actually noticed a difference from before?

Lol. Yeah they are. Is the gas pedal sticking? That would be a sure sign the throttle body needs to be cleaned.

Check air cleaner.Run a can of Seafoam,1/3 can in the intake,rest in a full tank of gas.Seafoam can work miracles on these.
High Milage? Using oil?Oil been changed regular?
Have the spark plugs been serviced?Fuel filter?
Check Dist. cap&rotor for excessive build up on inside.
If high milage,and all this is OK,do a compression check.

Here we go with the seafoam again.... a tuneup should be good enough.

MelJ

. I agree. Or an Italian tuneup to go along with it . My 94 Corolla behaves the way it did 6 years ago with a basic tune up....and that thing is reaching 160,000 miles.
