hi.. ive notice this problem since i reach 60,000 mileage.. (automatic-honda civic 2003)the problem is, when i hit the gas/accelerate, the responce is delay a little bit.It suppose tohit my RPM fr 2-4 but it will take at less a mili sec before it responce. normally, the problem occurs when im already running at the speed of 60-80km/hr. unlike my other car (manual-honda civic 2000)which its responding normally and give me my desire power. what could be the problem guys. is there any chance that it is because autumatic????

 

has the throttle cable got slack in it?

 

Do you mean when you're already driving and you need to go faster as in topass someonefor example?

My automatic does that... I think it's just the tranny has to realize that you need the extra power so that it will downshift for you, whereas on a manual, you are in control of when to downshift and whatnot.

EDIT: after rereading your question that's probably not it since it hasn't always done that.
