    Hello everyone,
    I’m having a issue with my 86 Accord. When I’m driving (at various
    speeds, usually while accelerating) my engine abruptly starts jerking
    and then the car either catches itself and contiues to go or it stalls
    out. If you press on the gas, it sometimes does nothing and still
    stalls out.
    Also, it doesn’t do it all the time only when the car seems to be on
    for approx 1 hour... sometimes I can drive fast and it’s fine. thanks

  2. First thought in my head is whether the fuel filter has been changed
    recently. Otherwise I'd look into the ignition tune-up stuff.

    There have been problems with rust in the float bowl of the carb on
    some 86's. If yours is injected, try some new plugs. See the sticker
    under the hood for plug type. bob
