Car Is Hesitating (help!)
 
At low speeds around 35-45 mph my 2004 Honda Accord LX 2.4I heistates. I fell it in the steering wheel but not in the petal. Its not the spark plug wires "I think". Its not missing at all. It might be a vacuum line or something. When I lay on the accelerator it dont hesitate. If anyone out that have had this problem could you please help me figure it out with having to pay the dealership tons of money just to tell me something that I could have done at home. Also I run 87 octane with regular fuel injection cleaners and syntec oil 0/20w. :confused:

Welcome newbie!

When you say you feel it in the steering wheel, I think of wheel balancing or alignment or something like that.

So is your hesitation a kind of vibration? Or is it like the car doesn't have power for a second - then it moves?

Your car doesn't have spark plug wires. Coil-on-plug system means each spark plug has it's own coil right on top.

Regular gasoline is OK. FI cleaners once-in-awhile is OK, but don't overdo it by using it all the time.

I'd expect if you have any loose vacuum hoses, that would trigger the check-engine light.

Auto or manual tranny? Are you feeling the tranny downshifting when you press on the gas pedal?

its not wheels at all. its like a loss of power. its automatic
the coils cost 100 a piece. i dont know what it is but its only every other day not everyday. Like today it did not do it. what do you think it could be? the tranny is fine its not hard shift down shifting or any crazy shifting at all. its just like a loss of power very briefly
