Fuel Filter
Hi all,
I've made some observations on my 98 Accord Ex (Automatic) and have some
questions.
When I press the gas pedal half way and the car is changing gears there's a
slight pause and a "dive" on the car's front. The pause lasts between
500ms-1sec. I'm wondering wether this is fuel or transmission related. Any
ideas/suggestions?
Btw, I replaced the spark plugs yesterday and cleaned the spark plug wires.
After spark plug replacement car runs smoother but still hesitates on gear
change as described above.
Thanks!
--Viktor

I'm certainly not an expert on automatic transmissions but based on what
you have said--it appears to me to be a transmission problem since the
problem only happens when the gears are changing. I advise you to take it
to a transmission shop and have them check it out--it's possible that they
can easily fix the problem by making some adjustments. If they try to
charge you a huge amount of money--don't pay it since I don't believe it's
a major problem.

Some ECMs will retard timing during shifts to make life a little
easier for the transmission. This is another area to look into.
