1997 Honda Accord mileage: 106,000. Every gear I shift into the car takes an extra second before accelerating. I know how the car felt before, and when I shifted and hit the gas the car punched into gear right away. Now it hesitates and the rpm's rev up very slowly, after a while it eventually picks up speed. The only thing I did recently was change the air filter myself.

If a major tune-up has not been done recently, this could be the cause of your problem. Replace the spark plugs, plug wires, fuel and air filters, etc. Also, replace the oxygen sensor.
