Good evening everyone,
So, my 2007 Accord 2.4L 4cyl Automatic is an amazing piece of machine but I'm wondering if what I'm about to describe is normal or a problem?
From a full stop (Red light, stop sign, etc), when I start accelerating it will take almost 2 seconds to shift gears, and this happens before I hit the 20 mph mark. This acceleration or shifting lag also produces a low jerk. Sometimes it will shift faster and other times it will not. I believe it does shift faster if I press harder on the pedal.
Example,
At stop sign --> Accelerate --> shifts gear (~2 second hesitation) --> reaches ~20mph
Is this a 4cyl engine thing?
Also, on a side note, I decided to clean my MAF sensor and noticed that there is a fingerprint (not mine) on the shiny plate. Is this shiny plate important? How can I get the fingerprint off? I already tried spraying with a MAF sensor cleaner but the fingerprint is still evident.
