Car Forum / Honda Cars / January 200787 accord runs out of steam
My 1987 accord with 87000 mile on it seems to quit acceleration if you give it too much gas for too long. It just kind of quits, slows down, quits, slows down. If I let off the accerator it seems to pick up were it left off. If I press the fully gas pedal I can accelerate normaly for about eight second then it does what I described. It really sucks on hills. I have changed both fuel filters and checked the fuel pump fuse. Any ideas appreciated.

Check the vacuum advance on the distributor, and check for spark leaks (new distro cap and rotor probably wouldn't hurt). Check and/or replace the air filter as well. If it's a carb, check the operation of the secondary. Plugged catalytic converter? JT > My 1987 accord with 87000 mile on it seems to quit acceleration if > you give it too much gas for too long.
