I just bought a 92 civic vx hatch, its completely stock, 92,000 miles. I didnt notice it when i test drove it, but once i was bringing it home, i noticed on the highway that when im trying to maintain any highway speed (40, 55, 65, 70, etc) ill get a random hesitation, its nothing huge, but ill be pressing the pedal like normal, but then the car will suddenly feel like ive lost all my acceleration, itll slow down for a second but then it feels like it catches again and its back to normal, the RPMs dont go up or down, the car just feels like it loses all its power for a second. itll do it no matter what gear im in, as long as im maintaining speed. it wont do it if im accelerating.
anyone heard of this or have any suggestions? i have the cars complete maintenance history and receipts, if that helps
thanks

I don't think there is enough info to really narrow it down to something specific. 90K is a time for major maintenance. Among other things, you want to replace fuel filter, spark plugs and possibly plug wires. Not for sure, but those easy things can take care of you problem. If youuse an injector cleaner for tank or two, it wouldn't hurt either.

 

Be careful that you choose a cleaner safe for O2 sensors or it will cost you $60 like it did me!
