1998 Honda Civic 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

when I drive and step on the throttle there is very little response, on thr highway can only do about 65 mph with the pedal on the ground, and when I get to an incline the car starts to slow down, but then picks up speed down hill, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated thx

Lack of acceleration, chugging, hesitating, jerking, bogging, misfiring etc. Could be caused by one of the following below:

Oxygen sensor.
Catalytic converter.
Fuel injectors dirty/sticking.
Mass airflow sensor/Airflow meter.
Throttle position sensor.
Crankshaft position sensor
Knock sensor
Manifold absolute pressure sensor.
EGR Valve
Fuel pressure regulator leaking or defective fuel pump.
False air leakage.
Fuel contamination.
Foul/defective spark plugs.
Open spark plug wires.
Ignition coil/Coil packs defective.
Incorrect ignition timing.
Cap and rotor.

Note:If it doesn't apply disregard it.
