Car: Honda Civic

Problem: Car won't accelerate quickly. The RPMs won't really go above 2500-3000, so the car accelerates very slowly. Eventually, after driving it for about 10 minutes, it gets better and starts accelerating normally.

Any idea what this could be? Hopefully something like a fuel filter or injector?

No Check Engine light?

It's not an injector. Maybe the filter.

It's probably something Les Miles did. Everything bad he has a hand in somehow. Right? I'd take it up to the AD's office if I were you.

Could need to readjust your flim flam bars. Might as well change your blinker fluid while in there

When's the last time you had your transmission fluid replaced?

The first thing to do that is cheap and easy would be to change the fuel filter. Just get it lined up in the right direction (look for the arrow on the housing).

Fuel filter problems show up as difficulty in acceleration and climbing hills. But these issues are not evident until the engine warms up first because fuel seeps past the stuffed-up filter overnight and fills the lines to the injectors.
