04 civic hesitation PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Just bought a 2004 honda civic LX automatic transmission.
When the car is cold, and you first accelerate from a stop, the car accellerates for a second, loses power and hesitates for about a second and then accellerates normally. The rpm's stay constant during this loss in power, but it basically feels like i let go of the gas for a second. after about a minute, the engine starts to get warm and the problem goes away. I took the car to Alberta Honda, in Edmonton, Alberta, twise, and they say that there is nothing wrong with the car, it just needs to be broken in more as it only has 554 km on it. I have now taken it to another Honda dealer, YellowHead Honda, and they told me that perhaps one of the computer chips has not adjusted (programed itself) to my driving. The mechaninic there suggested that i drive the car until the engine is warm, and then turn off all accecceriess and lights, and let the car idle in park for 30min. He said that this should allow the computer chip to program itself. Now, I am not mechanically inclned at all, but i don't really see how this makes any sense. Does anyone here have any thoughts???? I find this problem to be very annoying and honda is not being of any help.... so far i am dissapointed in the car and the service honda has given me and i don't know what i can do about this problem. |
