92 Accord Engine High Speed Hesitation Problem
Looking for some advice on a small problem I'm having with a 92 Accord,
automatic transmission with 156K miles. Everything on the engine is original except for the distributor. Excluding plugs and filters of course. When driving on the freeway anywhere between 65 and 75 miles an hour and at a constant speed, when depressing the accelerator slightly the engine will start to buck or accelerate roughly. Sorry, it's hard to explain. If I accelerate faster it doesn't seem to do it. This doesn't happen all the time either. It doesn't happen at slower speeds or when accelerating from a stop no matter how hard. Otherwise the car runs fine. Not burning any oil and my gas mileage is pretty much the same as the day I got the car. Any thoughts on what the problem might be? Thanks |

Could it be one of your wires grounding out?

Adjust the timing. In addition, add a bottle of fuel system cleaner to a full tank of gasoline. I'm guessing that the timing or a clogged or partially clogged injector might be part of the problem. Even if I am wrong, these two suggestions are not expensive. -- NEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS MOTTO We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice.

Come to think of it the last car I did was a 73 Olds Cutlass. I thought that the timing was adjusted automatically by the computer. As for the fuel system cleaner I just put some in right before this started. It was Techron. |

I take the car in for all of its scheduled service and when I remember I as ask about the plug wires and they keep telling me that they don't need replaced unless there is a problem. You would think there would be a replacement interval on them. |

Re: 92 Accord Engine High Speed Hesitation Problem
Be sure the throttle body is clean. There are also some passage ways in the air intake area just before the injectors that can be cleaned out. They are plugged at the factory after casting the part, but the plugs can be drilled out, and the holes can be taped and small bolts installed after cleaning. I doubt the wires are the trouble. They generally show trouble at full load, like accelerating up hill. bob |

The EGR plugs are available over the counter at the dealer, for cheap. A slide hammer works quite well for removal. |

Re: 92 Accord Engine High Speed Hesitation Problem
Did you try to download any codes out of the ECU? What kind of plugs are
you running? I would check them even if they are fairly new. |
