    My 1987 accord with 87000 mile on it seems to quit acceleration if
    you give it too much gas for too long. It just kind of quits, slows
    down, quits, slows down. If I let off the accerator it seems to pick
    up were it left off. If I press the fully gas pedal I can accelerate
    normaly for about eight second then it does what I described. It
    really sucks on hills. I have changed both fuel filters and checked
    the fuel pump fuse.
    Any ideas appreciated.
    Thanks

    Is this a carbed or fuel injected model?

    Check the vacuum advance on the distributor, and check for spark leaks (new
    distro cap and rotor probably wouldn't hurt). Check and/or replace the air
    filter as well. If it's a carb, check the operation of the secondary.
