I understand. I have had the timing belt changed twice, changed the plugs periodically, and given it routine oil changes. But there is a lot more I should have done. I am begining to get an idea of how valuable these Accords are and how long they can last if properly cared for. If not too late, I will do a lot of this maintenance to see if I can get it running smoothly. If not, I will see what else I need to get done to getting it running smooth.
I am familiar with seafoam. What all is it used for?

In that order.
If you take care of all those, you can eliminate those potential problem sources (like a clogged air filter, old spark plugs, worn spark plug wires, etc) and avoid spending hundreds of dollars on things like valve adjustment if you don't even need it. But you probably do if you've never had it done. I'm at 220k and my engine still sounds like new...just keep it well lubricated and make sure air can enter the engine efficienty, combust with gasoline efficiently and exit quickly
