You have a failed transaxle

The rpm flairs,that is a dead give away

You may have a worn out & clogged exhaust converter, adding to the problem, but the trans is gone, if the rpm flairs & after 45, you it doesn't run half decent

SOURCE: 1997 Honda Civic EX (automatic) jerks while accelerating?

Check your wires, plugs and coils. I think it is an ignition problem myself. Something is breaking down under a load. My guess would be a bad coil or wire, the hard starting could be a symtem of this also, As I first read your description I was thinking maybe a leaking fuel injector or faulty fuel injector, but I believe it is in the ignition system. I hope this Helps! Merry Christmas!

SOURCE: 2002 Civic EX wont accelerate

It sounds like a problem with the transmission. The creaking could be a bad power steering pump or simply a dry/leaking rack & pinion.

SOURCE: 1991 honda civic brake light stays on need to push brake pedal to

Sounds like you might have a caliper that is stuck and is not fully disengaging. If it is in the rear then you may have a bad rear caliper. Twoo things you can try. One is to crawl under the ca and adjust the tension two nuts on the emergency brake line. If that does not resolve the problem then remove the back tire and try to spin the drum or rotor whichever you may have. If it does not spin then try adjusting the e brake cable more if it still does not respond then you need to do a brake rebuild. Also does it pull while it is dragging? If it is then you will need to rebuild the brakes no matter what.

Will not excelerate past 4000 rpm

IF you have a carby then take it apart and clean it out as all the throats are not working properly including the accelerator pump.

I have a 2002 f-250 diesel. Starts runs fine but gas petal won't work gauges don't move when pushing down gas. I Changed the petal but still no accelleration

I am not positive about an 02 250.. but most accelerators any longer no longer go like what we remember.. no more cable.. You accelerator petal is now connected to a cam the measures the resistance and transmits it to a computer and magic! you have acceleration...
Given that it and your gauges are not functioning I would look at your fuses first and perhaps your relays.

Hello i have a couple issues with a 1991 honda civic it vibrates a lot while in drive and even more when in reverse and has a slow rate of reaction/acceleration when you press the pedal this only happens...

Assuming the idle speed is correctly set. Check for worn out or broken engine and tranny mounts. replace as nessesary. Check for any stored diagnostic trouble codes stored (count the blinking red light on the computer under the passenger carpet.) Check ignition timing, and also cam timing, the t-belt could be a tooth off causing the lack of acell or it could be an internal failure in the transmission. Check the throttle valve cable at the transmision for proper operation and adjustment. There's a few ideas to get you started. Lmk how it goes.

Knockes when clutch petal is released but goes away when pushed in

Does it drive fine. Does it do it in all gears? Or does it go away in 4th?

94 honda civic wont accelerate over 40mph

I would start with an oil change using proper weight, filter and oil drain plug crush washer. wrong weight of oil can definately cause the issue.

1993 honda civic

Try checking the snorkel tube between the air cleaner and the intake. Open the hood, and have a friend try to rev the engine, and watch the tube...my '92's was collapsing and starving the engine, couldn't get more than 3500-4000 rpm. Could also be a fuel pump problem like low pressure or bad line.
