4000rpm .. engine makes dead spaces or waters like i put neutral
 

I own a new Honda Civic sedan, 1400cc of 2005.

I have run 800km till now and i see something strange at my
engine when i speed up with low gears.

When i have put 2nd or 3rd gear and the engine runs at
4000rpm and up, i see that it makes something like "waters"
or "spaces" the engine.. i feel it like i have put the Neutral
for a couple seconds ..

The same happend with 4th and 5th gear.

Also i have seen that even if the road has a small percent of
grade the engine loses a lot of its power.

I say a lot of its power because i compare with my Toyota Corola
Sedan 1300cc of 1994 car and it seems that it has a lot of much
power from my new Honda Civic 1400cc of 2005 and it does not
make this "dead spaces" as i feel them up from 4000rpm.

I wonder if this happens because the engine is still new (800km).

If someone know, please inform me because i already worry a much
about this.

Thanks guys..

It could be your catalytic converter. That'll happen sometimes when your cat is plugged up.....loss of power and sometimes stalls.

If it's an 05 take it to the dealer. If it isn't running right, they should make sure it does. I wouldn't be trying to troubleshoot a brand new car, I would expect Honda to do that.

pacman is correct, I missed the 2005 thing myself. Why aren't you taking it to the dealer?

just asking if there are any known issues about that on new engines below 1000km
at 05 civic.
