I own a 98 Honda Accord EX 4 cylinder. The problem that I am having is that the vehicle seems to lag off and on when I push the gas pedal. It never happens in reverse, only when I am moving forward. What will happen is I will put the car in drive and push on the gas pedal with constant pressure. The vehicle will start to go until it reaches about 3000-4000 RPMS. At this point the RPMS will drop to about 2000 and the vehicle feels as if I am not pushing the gas pedal at all. The next thing that happens is that a few seconds later the gas pedal will finally react to me pushing it and the car will have gas. This "surging" will last about 10 seconds until the vehicle shifts into the next gear. The "surging" usually only occurs after I start the car and begin to drive, but never for the first trip of the day. Any type of help will be greatly appreciated!

You may need to check your transmission fluid level or change the fluid and filter if you have never done it. Sounds like when its warm is when you have problems. If not the trans. then take to 2-3 garages for estimates to repair, then decide what to do.
