Default bad throttle response

I've driven quite a broad range of cars from a van, a suzuki hatch, a 01 corolla and they all seem pretty good with throttle response you step on the gas and it goes but i have a 97 honda accord dx sedan with 48000 miles on it and it has a supposed 130 horses at 4500 problem is, i swear you have to pratically floor it for the overdrive to engage like it should which doesnt seem right, and it seems like i dunno the throttle repsonse is off or something b/c when it finally kicks in it overkicks and and skips from like 2 grand straight to 5 grand which makes no since b/c you push on the gas nothing happens you push on it some more still pretty much nothing then all of a sudden when you almost floor it it sits for a good three seconds then just straight jumps up from the rpms and i dunno why, anybody with some advice im open for recomendations on fixing it b/c its annoying, thanks
