My 6th gen accord stumbles when i give it any throttle, but it gets worse at higher rpm's. Is it something serious, or time for a tune-up? the car has about 172,000 on the chassis and motor. I also thought about doing a swap since the motor is so old. What is a good website to buy a motor from? Any help is greatly appreciated.

at 172k miles there is a slight chance that the spark plugs just might need to be replaced.
Vacum leaks?

 

be smart give it a tune up...plugs, cap, rotor, wires if need be...do a tranny flush..the only way theses cars run good foor long periods is if you maintain basic maintance requierments!!!

 

i have a 97 accord vtec 5 speed i realized lately that when i switch gears from first to second the cars stumbles a bit b4 its gets the rpms back up its not to bad but it kills me wen i get burned by minivans at the light i recently did a tune up complete tune up couple months ago any ideas thanx
