Idle could be many things. Alternator/battery or charging system is a place to start. Otherwise check idle adjustment.

Sounds like most 90-93 accords. Hesitation could be tranny or many other possibilities. Need more info for that.

Both conditions can be caused by a dirty throttle body, and can be addressed by no more than removing the air inlet tube (from the aircleaner box) at the throttle body and cleaning inside with carburetor cleaner. In extreme cases, the Idle Speed Control Motor (ISC) also needs cleaning (and in some cases, replaced).
