possibly dirty fuel injectors?
well, here is the scoop:
i have a 2000 honda civic (5 speed). it has about 51K miles on it. when i am accelerating, (and keeping consistent pressure on the accelerator) the car will start to go and then at approx. 3500 rpm , the car will suddenly get a little extra burst of energy - almost like it had been stuck. then, of course, vtech takes over at 5500 rpm.
now, i should also mention that the last time i had my oil changed, the tech brought out the air filter and showed me some spots on it saying that that pattern meant that i should get my fuel injectors cleaned (by him of course.) now i am not too trusting of these jiffy lube guys with my baby (no offense), and i didn't want to get ripped off or anything, so i declined.
i am wondering if there is any truth to what that cat was saying?? i don't want to put any additives in my gas tank or anything or shell out a bunch of cash for no good reason either.
do my symptoms sound like the fuel injectors could possible be the cause?
thanks for any help!
