1986 Honda Accord

Joined: Mar 21, 2007 Posts: 2

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

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