Default 89 Accord LSi Fastback acceleration lag

I was working oin my sister car to try to figure this out. When she starts in in the morning or anytime it hasnt been driven for a while, she says that it stalls out on acceleration or dies. i drove it with no problem. i cleaned out the injectors, seafoamed the motor and ran some stuff through with the gas. gave it back to her and she says its still doing. does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? No mods dont to the cars engine, or any part for that matter.
Thank You.

Is their **** in the tank, I wouldn't be surprised if the woman likes to drive around with the gas light on and burned up the pump or clogged it with ****.

Sorry your right, that was really crude. Although lets be realistic, if she dosen't know any better its a very real possibility.

You might want to test the dist. vacum advance and the dist also uses centrifugal weights under the plate. when they get locked up the shaft won't twist and the engine would run like an old dog.
