Any help or advice will help.

i have a 91 Accord EX-R 5spd with 270K km
when driving i noticed lack of power and hesitation and jerking as if the engine is gonna fall off when i accelerate...the jerking happens at times but the lack of power is at all times.

when the jerking happens i easy off the accelerator and that usually helps and when I start pushing the accelerator its starts jerking again.

i took it to the honda dealer and they said it could be a number of things and i really can't afford it. if anyone knows the exact thing or what i should replace first, second, third then i can try with one thing see if the problem is fixed if not i'll go on to the next until i can resolve it....

please any advise will help...

desperately need my accord until next yr.

thanks

 

First, take off all the vaccum hoses that are connected to your intake/throttle body. Clean them out w/ some throttle body cleaner. And dump a bottle of injector cleaner in your gas tank. That would be the first thing I would do. I had the same problem on my civic. But the majority of the time, its the vaccum hoses being dirty.

 

i actually just bought some STP injector cleaner this weekend and then filled my tank. i will drive around for a couple of days and see how that goes.

is it hard to remove the vacuum hoses and clean them? if not i'll try this weekend. I have the Haynes book will that help or do you know any sites that detail this info.

thanks

also could it be your timing is off or something? Good luck with your problem btw.
