accelerating question
alright, this has probably been brought up before, but i really need some opinions from u guys. anyways, i have a question about accelerating. when i go into 2nd gear it feels like the car is hesitating like its not using all of it's power to get up to speed. same in 3rd, 4th, and 5th. when i push on the gas it hesitates again. i don't get it. this is the best way i can explain so i hope u guys understand my question. any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Re: accelerating question
3000 rpm's? that's the problem. you can't shift at low rpm's to conserve gas, and then complain about acceleration!

Re: accelerating question
no, i know what he's talking about. when you shift, you hit the gas and nothing happens, then all of a sudden it kicks in. i have the same problem in my 5th gen on rare occasions, feels like a floating clutch or something

Re: accelerating question
Sorry the distributor system (cap, coil etc..) also make sure you are running the correct octane for your car, make sure you got a tune-up as well.
