I knoe I should use the search button but I dunno wat words to use. Yea my engine has been running weal for the past few months now. It's like if you floor the gas peddle the engine hesitates then it picks up. The acceleration is kinda slow compared to 2 months ago. I can't even keep up wit those 99 Civic LX. Somebody help me quick! I got a drift competition in the spring and I dun wanna take my car out of the competition.

Okay, breakdown of the issue here.-Engine hesitates when you floor the peddle-0-60 mph is 13 secs-running premium gas

I don't know what's goin on here. HELP!

He means seafoam through your gas I think. To gut your cat take it off the car and poke away till all the platnum comes out of your cat or till you can see throught it. you should be good to go. You can just buy a cheap de cat of ebay to see if this was your problem or not. also when was the last time u put a new fuel filter on. If you know a mechanic have him hook up a fuel pressure tester so you can make shure you are getting the correct fuel pressure at turn of key, start up, and with a load.
