    low RPM bogging/slow acceleration

    it's been happening on and off, but today it's been happening almost all day, even after i let the car sit for a while. at an idle, i can feel the car vibrate much more then usual, and then when i take off from a stand, it will bog out, sort of lag and shudder a little, and accelerate slow until maybe 1,500-2,000RPM (so from idling at 700RPM, it will lag until it reaches 1,500RPM) and then it will take off normally. kind of feels like something is clogged, or not getting to where it's supposed to be. i had the worst case of this bogging when i was going up a hill. i couldn't get the car over 2,000RPM without flooring it and jumping the RPM's way up. does this sound like a vacuum issue, or possibly ignition?

        Automatic I am assuming.....

        flush the tranny and replace with Honda fluid, do a tune up, oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air cleaner, cap rotor plugs and wires....

        Your cb probably needs the tlc anyways....

        then let us know what happens.... Oh, and it wouldn't hurt to run some seafoam through your brake booster line either

          yes, it's an automatic. the tranny hasn't been flushed in a while because the previous owner didn't service it, and i'm told if you haven't been servicing it, don't start because it'll only do bad things.

          tune up has been done already over the summer, as was a can of seafoam through the fuel tank and brake booster

            check spark plugs again. fuel system/filter etc

            check the egr and egr ports. <<<< the symptoms for the egr ports are that it will bog down the engine around 1500rpm to 1700 rpm then it will drive fine.
            are we there yet are we there yet are we there yet

              Do this ^^^^. Fuel system cleaner doesn't do anything anyways.

              EDIT: Seafoam does

                i completely cleaned the egr ports the past summer. i had that bog too before i cleaned them. egr bogging happens more-so between 2,500-3,000RPM

                  stp fuel cleaner. if that dosent work, change the filter. your supposed to change the filter ever 20-30k.

                      the solenoids dont go that easy. when it bogs until 2500-3k its not the trannys problem.

                        um yeah it could be.. what gears does it do this in... like i say, mine was loose and thus creating a code whitch would throw it in limp mode causing it to bog in such a manner..

                        not to say thats it,, but mierly a possiblity.

                          um yea overnight it just magically blew a solenoid?

                          i had similar problems with this before and on other cars. its all about the fuel.

                            on my next fill-up, i will use a fuel cleaner and see how that does. if nothing happens then we'll move on to the next step

                              who knows....

                              then again mine went through 4 sets before it stopped blowing them..

                              and i said loose connection... so where blowing it came from..

                              if it's fuel related it is prolly a verry simple fix.

                              sounds almost like a sensor is gone bad
