8th Generation Honda Civic Forum - View Single Post - 2007 LX has inconsistent "feel" when driving

Some days it is a real pleasure to drive my 2007 LX sedan. The transmission and engine feel like they are smooth and working together. Drive quality on these days is impressive, especially when I drive on the highway.

Other days I feel like my LX is sluggish and unresponsive. The transmission seems to shift harshly, or too late, and it just seems like the engine and transmission are fighting each other. On days like these I often feel like flooring the accelerator pedal in order get the engine out of its "funk".

I have no explanation for the Jeckle & Hyde drive quality that my LX seems to exhibit. One theory is that the computer is factoring the ambient temperature and humidity into the air/fuel ratio setting, which is negatively affecting engine and transmission drive quality when conditions are right.

Anyone else ever notice this? I am starting to wonder if I took too much L$D back in the day.
