Start cheap with fresh gas (switch brands like Shell), oil change, air filter, then throttle body cleaning, fresh tranny fluid my help, plugs, wires, cap/rotor, fuel filter....
Don't bother with the plug wires. The stock Sumitomos will go over 150K miles. Your plugs are platinum NGK, which will last over 60K. It may be a good idea to take them out and make sure they are clean though. Your transmission fluid is a likely culprit, and should be changed EVERY 15K. The Fuel filter on ALL 6G accords is non serviceable and is part of the fuel pump assembly. Only ONCE have we ever had to replace one. If your accord is 98-00, then the distributor cap and rotor should be done every 15-30K, but 2001-2 Accords are distributorless, and don't even have spark plug wires.
