How full is the coolant reservoir?

'Curly'

Hi there~I have a 1997 Honda Accord in mint condition with 115,548 miles on
it and she runs like a dream. I was having the same problem you were and it
was my fuel injectors(carbuerator) all I did because I'm usually "broke" is I
went to Autozone and bought some liquid stuff for the fuel injectors then I
drove on the freeway for a minute(doing about 90 mph)  and she purrs now,so
maybe that would work? I also live in Las Vegas Nevada and when it gets hot
here my Honda seems to run sort of sluggish but I just make sure her radiator
is full as well as her oil is clean and I do drive only on the streets and
not the freeway and I found out that makes the car "build up" where it's
lifter are~In the manifold so just try to drive on the freeway or somewhere
where you can go fast and open your car up~as they say~and maybe thats all it
needs? Just remember Hondas are great cars and when something goes "wrong"
with them usually there is a good reason :) Take Care~AsiaAnne~

Could it be that you are not de-clutching fast enough?

Speaking from recent personal experience with my 1988 Accord LXi (auto), an
intermittent TW sensor will cause the problem we have both experienced.
