unequale acceleration at starting (civic cx 1999)
Dear Honda experts,
I have a honda civic cx 1999 hatchback and when the engine is cold (first 5 kilometers) I sometime have a very strange problem. It's like if the engine is not answering when I accelerate. Here is an example: I start the car (everything is fine). I push the pedal once, the engine answer promptly and I push it more, now nothing happen like if I didn't push the pedal, but I keep the pedal push and after 2-3 sec I got the acceleration. It will happen 1-3 times and after the car work fine. Any idea of what is the problem? Thank you very much |

You might have a dirty throttle body which is easily cleaned. Inside
the tb is a butterfly which starts to bind when deposits build up. It's a Honda tsb.(technical service bulletin) |

I think it's #1. 'Curly' |

Thank very much you for your help.
I think I will try to clean the throttle body since I changed my timing belt last year and my air filter is brand new. I will let you know if it works Thank you again |
