Honda Car Forum

91 honda accord, has had new plugs, new plug wires, new distributor, new cap and rotor, new fuel filter. looses power going uphill, then when on the gas and let off and get back on it its still kinda missin.

do a fuel system cleaning. it could be corroded fuel injectors

run fuel conditioner in your gas to help clean your fuel injectors and get new spark plugs or clean your current ones. good luck

How bout a new car? Send it to the scrape yard.

Hmmm, maybe a weak fuel pump, maybe a catalytic converter that's damaged and not allowing proper flow, maybe fuel injectors, clogged air filter........

try running a compression check on it and make sure it has no valve problems ,i had one a while back that was doing this ,it turned out to have a burnt valve in it,strange for a Honda,but after i did a valve job on it ,it ran like a new one,that would be a good staring point on it,and go from there with it,good luck.

that happened to my old car too. but i got it fixed for like 150.00

Ok, First off make sure you have honda spark plugs and wires. I have fixed so many misfires and poorly running hondas because of this. Make sure the ignition timing is set correctly.Second off, Check our fuel pressure while driving. It should be 34-41 psi at the service port with the regulator vacuum hose disconnected. Ive also had a couple accords with bad coils.Also check to make sure the timing belt is in time.Let me know if you have any more questions, im a 6 year factory honda tech.

Check timing....on this type of vehicle you have to ground the timing system to ensure it is on basic timing prior to adjusting. Vehicle manual shows the location of which wires pertain to the basic timing. If this doesn't work check your map sensor.
