Throttle lag - 4/6/2008 8:33:29 PM    93AccordEx   Posts: 9 Joined: 3/20/2008 Status: offline First let me say thanks for these awesome forums.  I catch my self reading about something daily that is very helpful. I have a 93 accord ex that has 137,000 miles.  I have only had the car for a month, but have recently noticed that it seems to have developed some throttle lag.  It is in the low end of the RPM range.  You press the gas pedal & seem to have to wait on the car, however once the RPM's are approx 2000 or greater everything seems responsive.  Any ideas> BTW it has new plugs and wires, but I noticed that the coil wire was not replaced.  93 accord ex auto tranny. _____________________________ 1993 Accord 4Dr EX Auto 138,000 & counting Post #: 1

Is the throttle body dirty? Air filter dirty? _____________________________ 2000 Accord LX Sedan F23A1 5spd -Short Shift Adapter -eBay SRI w/ K&N 1995 Accord V6 Sedan AT - AKA "the money pit" 1991 Mustang LX 5.0 Convertible - my daily driver all through college - now sits in my dad''s garage - needs a little TLC (in reply to 93AccordEx) Post #: 2
