‘01 Civic LX hesitates at 4K rpm’s

When I’m in neutral or coasting, it will rev to 6000 fine. Only when I’m in gear will it hesitate around 4-4500 rpm’s. Engine shudders and hesitates... don’t think it’s limp mode. All gears same issue. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

Thanks for any help

I would guess fuel. Check fuel pressure when driving if possible. Probably needs a new pick up sock in the tank.

Sounds like either a fuel or spark issue to me

I guess. I’m refreshing another D17A1 (not V TEC) to swap out, my current engine has 300,000 miles 😂
might need a tune up

But again, my engine WILL rev to 6,000 rpm’s, but only while in neutral... would that be ECU that’s fried or engine related you think?

Check your spark plugs and coils. If those check out, it's probably fuel pump or something related.

FUEL PUMP GUYS

Thanks so much! I didn’t think it was fuel related at all but a new pump and filter and I’m sending every gear!!
