Usually the Mass Air Flow sensor just needs to be cleaned.

I recently cleaned my dad's Toyota MAF sensor, and it fixed the problem. Car ran better after that.

6th gen Accods have MAP sensors, not MAF sensors, but I suppose the same thing would apply.

as far as i know all accords have maps but i never heard of a map being dirty i did try searching but didnt find anything even google and nothing just found out that alot of people have the same problem

I would start by replacing the o2 sensor. Most likely its reading slow. There was a bulletin about the fuel pressure regulator going bad but you already replaced that. I have seen the o2 sensor get lazy and read wrong causing the code. Usually the computer will try and compensate the fuel injector duration to try and fix a bad o2 sensor reading and it causes this code.
