I need some help diagnosing a problem with my 1990 Honda accord. Sometimes
the car starts right away, then sometimes it won't and if let it sit for a
while, it will start (like it has been flooded). It has been doing this for
months and it will always start eventually. Also, the car runs rough upon
excelleration and it feels like it will cut out, but doesn't. Once I hit
highway speeds, it drives perfect. I have replaced plugs, disributor cap
and rotor button, plug wires, air filter, but nothing seems to work. Anyone
have any advise that may be of assistance?

o 2 sensor won't cause a no start condition. A distributor usually won't
work at all, will work, or will work but cause constant driveability
concerns. I would get the car checked out thoroughly.
like the other poster said...relay for the no start

in my opinion, it should be the wires and plugs... but if you have already
tried to replace... I had 89 cellica and it didn't want to start for
sometime, i found out that it was the starter.... hmmm sorry, i don't have
that many information~!
Thanks Justin

Maybe a dirty fuel filter?
