Slows down when shifting into second!!

[peanut07]

Okay when I am driving my cb and I go to shift into second gear it like slows down or bogs. Then it will pick back up. Does anyone know why it would do that. I have a coworker that is having the same problem and he doesn't know either. Please give me some ideas on what could cause this thanks.

Maybe you're car need a tune up or try a fuel injector cleaner,i always use Lucas fuel treatment every oil change,or it could be the fuel filter.

When i bought my car it was doing that until i did a full tune-up after that it works find.

tune-up, dizzy too retarted, dirty fuel filter. could be a number of thing. i kno everyone says ur wasting ur money but run a couple tanks of high test thru the car. no it will not improve ur performance, but will help clean some of ur vavles up. i bought my coupe and it was slow like urs. so 3 tanks of 93 octane and a decent right foot and runs like a top.

make sure your engine is running right like everyone else said. a tune up wont hurt just try that first.

What rpm's is it bogging at ? Could be the egr valve. Any engine codes popping up ?

[foamypirate]

It's called a 4-cylinder with no low-end torque (relative of course) and an incredibly long 2nd gear.

Well I thought about getting a tune up but it has new plugs, wires, and cap. It like only does it if I shift into second at a low rpm. If I shift later then it won't do it. I have also tried the 93 octane for a while but it didn't really help. Where is the egr Valve located. It is a pretty inexspensive fix.

its right in between the blaster coil and the trottle bodie.it only has 1wire and 2 12mm bolts on top. o the reason y it boggs cuse u dont have enough touqe at low rpms. ur car has to get in the power band that dosent start till 3k or so.

[peanut07]

Yeah but I am not sure if its bogging. Like it seems more like i lose power or something then comes back.

[wed3k]

is it consistent? mine does that when it is between warming up and cold. i ahvent found out why either. it idles fine and accelerates fine when warm.

[92smokeaccord]

im pretty sure its not boggin ur just not in the power band range for touqe not big deal really cause when racing u never go lower then 4k any way just ease off the pedel sum when u shift or drag 1st gear to about 4k then shift.

[wed3k]

which is why it doesnt do it when its warm right?

[92smokeaccord]

yea. ur starting 2 get the hang of it.

[ibr_adam09]

OK, I'm confused. Are you guys trying to state that he doesn't know how to drive manual ?

I still think that an EGR is the still the issue because its the only common issue that I know of that creates bogging from 1.5 K to 3K, then acceleration picks up again.
