Try the obvious things first.


1) Is the air filter dirty?
2) Does the throttle body need cleaning
3) Is the clutch slipping, or torque converter unlocking to easily
4) If the fuel mileage is also bad, it could be a a combination of the above, plus bad plugs, wires or a rich fuel condition caused by a faulty sensor.

I'd put my money on a dirty fuel and or intake system.

doesnt matter how fast his car is. in my 92 vx i could feel vtec not engage bc of not enough oil. that isnt saying that i felt it kick in when it did engage bc i didnt feel anything. but i could tell when it was low on oil (burned through so much of it) bc of this. and i know my vx was slower then his accord or even a metro for that matter. he has a problem with throttle response...lets solve it!!
