She Does It So Good, So Fast

MY BABY REALLY FLIES ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I AM DOING MORE THEN 60MPH BUT WHEN I ENTER THE CITY AND I AM DOING 30 - 40 MPH SHE REALLY SUCKS SOMETIMES I GET HESITATION WHEN I ACCELERATE AND MOST OF THE TIME SHE HESITATES AT TAKE OFF ON A RED LIGHT ( I HATE SEEING HONDA CIVICS TAKE OFF FASTER THEN ME ).

THIS PROBLEM STARTED JUST AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WINTER SEASON SO I DONT KNOW IF ITS THE COLD THAT MAKING HER DO THAT OR IF SHE HAS A PROBLEM, PLEASE GIVE ME SOME INPUT ON WHAT MIGHT BE THE ISSUE HERE

most people would say knock sensor is what your describing from the symptoms cause i doesn't trip the CEL light, it has to be extracted

first problem, turn off caps lock, its on, and it sucks...
Second, pull codes from ecu, sounds like knock sensor
"but my c.e.l. isnt on"
DOESNT MATTER, the Knock sensor DOESNT TRIP the light

My car always feels faster when its colder. And the intake (Still stock) sounds alot deeper and louder I would think the cold air should make it faster- its like having a cai for free!!

BTW I live in minnesota Hi today -1 deg f
Low: -15 deg f

sux to shift but I just want to drive around all day
