'00 EX Acceleration Problems 2000 Civic EX; 130,000 miles
Sudden loss of acceleration between first and second, as well as second and third. If I don't force it (pedal-to-the-floor), the RPM will continue to fall to 500 or until the engine randomly regains power and the RPM jumps to around 4,000, then back to normal acceleration.
Once I hit fourth, it's smooth sailing.
Set in a new fuel filter shortly after the trouble started, five months ago.
Haven't had the cash to take it to the dealership to have the engine checked (there are some other maintenance issues I need to catch up on. Bad rotors, a new belt or two.) I'd set in a new O2 sensor about the time this started.
What's the fix for this?
Better yet, what the crap's happening under the hood?
