Press on the gas but car stays at a slow constant speed no matter how hard I press the gas?
So I got a 2001 Honda civic ex manual 5 speed Bought it from a private dealer. (It has a cold air intake in it and a huge exaust) I have a air leak right where the headers meet the exaust pipe(I don't know if this helps) but when I get into 3rd gear or above the car won't go faster the harder I push the gas petal down. I can floor my petal and it will still go as fast as if I was barely pushing the petal down. It's sad cause the car goes pretty slow and it's upsetting when a old lady can pass you haha but also I noticed my rpms match my mph for example here's my speeds for each gear
1st - 1 - 20mph
2nd - 20 - 30mph
3rd - 30 - 40mph
4th - 40 - 50mph
5th - 50 and above
also any tips to gain more HP? And also help my speed with the gears so I'm not shifting so short timed?

Vacuum leaks can degrade your performance.
- Why don't used cars seem to matter about the make in pricing? I see Hondas with more mileage and older than BMWs priced at the same price (meaning a 2004 BMW priced at the same as a 2004 Honda.) Why don't the prices fluctuate much for used cars, but it's immensely different for new cars?
- Why does the left front wheel on my 4wheeler lock as soon as i touch the lever but the other 1 don't even hardly slow down? I have a 2007 Honda Recon 250 4wheeler and it's been doing that off and on for awhile now, i thought it might have been a low tire because it's done the exact same thing before with a low tire but my tire pressure is fine. I'm guessing something is wrong with the brake shoes but i'm not sure what to look for because i'm not very experienced in the mechanic department and i don't wanna mess something up worse than it already is Haha very funny Andrew
- Why does insurance price matter if the car isn't full coverage? I don't understand why my insurance on my 2016 Honda hire than my 2002 Honda. Both cars or only liability coverage. I own both. I don't understand.
- I have 2004 Honda Pilot starting problem.The car starts when the gas are press lightly? But if the car misses to start on the first try, it would be hardtime, sometimes I need to try 4 times with pressing the gas all the way to get started. All of you input and help is highly appreciated.
