Default car dies

i have a 87 accord lx and the car seems to bog down when gong along at about 3-4k rpms, and won't have any pick up unless i floor it, then when it down shifts it will regain power. and sometimes on ocasstion it will die when i get to a stop light. any hint or advice would be helpfull, thanks

Maybe it's the POS Keihin carb. I don't know anything about checking carbs though, so I can't help you there

Sounds very much like a carburetor issue to me. That and perhaps the ignition wires.

Check ignition timing and entire ignition system.
