try this one on for size
My sister has a 91 accord automatic and when taking off under normal acceleration the motor sputters and bogs but if you tramp on it it works fine. Also if in park it idles fine and works fine, even if you try and revv it up there is no sputter at all. And on the highway it works great. It seems to be linked to the tranny. But the tranny seems fine just due to the fact that it works fine under hard acceleration. I am thinking that there may be some sort of vacuum leak or something but I really don't know what to look for. She is a single mom raising 2 beautiful girls and loves her Honda (it's her first) therefore I am hoping that it isn't much to fix. Thanks,
