My 99 Accord has some issues accelerating...?

Question

I recently noticed that sometimes while I am driving and I need to speed up for some reason it sounds like its having a hard time accel. almost like I am pressing the gas on and off. It doesn't do this always and it doesn't matter if the AC is on or off. It sometimes does this too when the light turns green, but mainly after its picked up speed. Does this sound like something having to do with the fuel injection? I want to have an idea of what the menchanics should be checking, when I take it in, otherwise I feel they make up things to charge me more.

Answer 1

you can try some fuel injection cleaner, but it also sounds like the throttle body needs cleaning or the gas filter needs changing.

Answer 2

It sounds like the Fuel filter needs to be replaced. It also wouldn't hurt if you get it Tuned up. Change the spark plugs,etc. The next time you fill up you're gas tank, Wait till you're on empty and add a can of B-12. It will help you're Fuel injection system.

Answer 3

Since it is an old car, check the fuel supply all the way from the gas tank. Because the problem is on & off, there is possibility of some loose rust/or other things inside the tank. I have seen a few cases for old cars where the loose bits get caught with the fuel line intake on & off.

If the fuel line is OK, only then check other parts.
