1997 Honda Civic acceleration issues?

So recently I bought a 1997 Honda Civic Ex VTEC. The car has the Check Engine Light on, I got it check and it's the Throttle Position Sensor, so I'm not sure if that's causing the car to accelerate slowly, also the car is a 5 speed! My RPMs go up fast, but the car accelerates slowly, I did the 4 gear thing to see if the clutch slips, but nothing it's a good clutch and my car stalled!

Hi yes and it is now 17 years old so what do you expect from it.

  • Our 2006 honda odyssey lost acceleration/power and was towed? Was towed. On first start now, it starts for 1 second and immediately turns off. On second start, it only whines like a flooding sound. The engine light is on. The van is stranded. Please let me know where to start. What do these symptoms mean? What are the signs of a bad egr valve? It it air or fuel intake? Spark plugs are fairly new. Starter is fairly new. Our budget is very small.
  • Choppy, hesitant acceleration in 1995 Honda Odyssey? This problem has been going on for about a month now. Frequently, when I accelerate from a complete stop or speed up after I get going the motor does accelerate smoothly. It will be sort of a choppy acceleration. Once I reach the speed I want the car runs and sounds very smooth without any choppiness. What could be wrong? Injectors? Spark Plugs? Ignition coil or wires?
  • 2012 Honda Civic slow acceleration? Last Sunday I bought a 2012 Honda Civic LX Coupe. My first car that I'm financing all on my own and I love it, but I've noticed that it seems a little slow to accelerate. My last car was an '03 Accord with a V6 and I'm not sure if I'm just still used to driving a car that's so fast or if I should be concerned. Everything besides that runs perfectly, its just that one thing. Has anyone else experienced this or know anything about it?
  • 2003 Honda acceleration issue I'm thinking of buying a 2003 Civic. It takes a moment after I hit the gas to start accelerating. Once it's going, it's fine. What might it be? Not a Honda guy, but I can fix it once I know where to start. Has had the plugs replaced not too long ago. The vehicle has 125k on it, but has been maintained pretty well. Any help would be appreciated.
