Weird power shortage between shifts?

alexv305 · 05-16-2007, 05:21 PM

When I shift gears in my 2007 Civic SI Sedan, I notice that the engine seems really weak after switching gears, it feels like the engine is losing alot of power. Almost like its bogging. Like i can floor it and sometimes its like i dont have the gas on at all.. but it only happens after switching gears.

Anyone get this problem?

I get this too, at the high RPMs w/ quick shifts maybe its VSA slowing down my acceleration to get grip

not sure why it does it at the low RPMs

Mine does this too, but only at high rpm's when i do a quick shift. Even with the VSA off it still does it...

It is possible you are not shifting correctly..

make sure your a/c isnt on. my 06 Si did this and i couldnt figure it out and then i realized i had the a/c on even tho i was useing the heat.

I've noticed the same thing in my 06, so it's not VSA at least for me. It's happens very rarely, and it usually happens around 4k-6k RPM, with the accelerator around 3/4 of the way down.

Any ideas?

It's because of DBW. Welcome to the wonderful world of DBW problems that most Civic owners have.

WTF? care to explain how DBW is the cause of this one?

It lags =/

DBW= drive by wire.
also, maybe your car isnt warmed up enough? doesnt hit vtec if its not warmed up, well, at least mine doesnt.
otherwise i dunno what you are talking about cause i havent had any problem in mine.

the power drop is not from the throttle lag (at least not in my case)
