I have '96 Accord with a 2.2 engine. The engine intermitted hesitates and stalls during acceleration or a constant speed. Never while idling. It only does this about 20% of the time but it is very dangerous to drive like this. You never know when you pull out into traffic what is going to happen. I changed the fuel filter and tested the fuel pressure. I took it to the Honda dealer and they said they could not duplicate the problem but recommended they change the main fuel relay for $260. I picked one up for $60 at NAPA and changed it myself (very easy) but this didn't help. I tested all the spark plug cables and changed the spark plugs. I removed the distributor and inspected it. I also dropped the gas tank and checked it for trash and water. At this point don't know what to check next. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks.

 

well you need 3 things....Fuel, Air, Spark...try to knock one out one at a time....you changed the plugs, checked the Distributor, try looking at possible clogged injectors....check for any vacuum leaks, or even a faulty fuel pump could be the problem, when you accelerating your askin for more fuel and if its faulty then it'll quit on you resulting in your car cutting off......make sure your air filter is clean.....when you checked your distributor what did you look for? its possible that the contacts are worn out.....happened on my gs-r, it would hesitate/bog when i accelerate and even cut off on me while driving....my rotor and cap were worn out, was gettin spark on only 3 plugs sometimes so if at worse replace those.....umm can't think of anything else for now....do those and see what happens

 

I vote for vacuum leak.
