Default 2002 RL questions

My '02 RL has 33K miles. When applying throttle from a dead start, or when completing a turn and increasing speed, I notice a hesitation before the engine accelerates. Sort of like a leaking accelerator pump back in carburator days. Anyone experienced this? Did the dealer fix it? Also, is 2800 RPM at 75 MPH normal? Seems a little high, but I'm used to a V8, so maybe it's me.

thanks, Jackson

I can't say for sure what your hesitation might be. As far as the rpms, the Acuras run at higher rpm than V8s. You'll find they love rpm.
