Honda Civic accelaration and pick problem

My Civic 2005 Vti Prosmatec which is just 16.5k kms run is posing problems to me. I think it doesn't accelerate according to my accelerator pedal push. I consulted a mechanic who told me to adjust its tappet since they need adjustment after 10k kms but I didn't get them adjusted until I get an expert advice. Moreover, I got it checked from Honda City Sales who advised me to test the car using their HIM (Honda Interface Module) but they didn't find any problem from this test. Further, I am running it on LandiRenzo CNG kit but I don't think there is any problem with CNG setting because I feel this lack of acceleration on Petrol too.

I felt this deeply when I visited Murree and nearby areas and my car was not picking acceleration while Suzukis were speeding around. I have also inferred that automatic transmission is not advisable for hilly areas since my car didn't shift gears back even when it should have done it. I had to put the rpm down to zero then it shifted from 2nd to 1st gear.

I need your expert advise on this issue. Should I get engine's tappet adjusted? Does Honda have some electronic tuning and tappet adjustment tools for engines? What can be the other causes for this problem and possible workarounds?

the prosmatec does not shift gears backwards specially from 2nd to 1st on CNG properly. the advancer of automatic cars is a little different, get that checked. r u also facing the same problem on petrol.

i also have a vti prosmatec on petrol. i have visited murree with no problem. the transmition shift backwards when u floor the accelerator.

i would suggest that u contact logas if u r facing the problem on CNG ony, otherwise go to honda and tell them that the problem is with petrol, the transmition is not shifting properly, ur car is still under warranty, they would do something about it.

also get ur throttle serviced, this improves acceleration and the transmition shifts
