I recently bought a 92 accord 5 speed 157k miles. I have to say it is a nice little car and will serve me well as getting great gas mileage and being cheap on the pocket book for insurance.

My question: I did a tune up on it(plugs, wires, cap and rotor) now when I am sitting at a light it idles kind of rough, it did it before but not quite as bad. Seems to run good, got 28mpg on the first tank of gas.

any ideas or just live with it because it is old?

Tom

check your spark plugs, as well as make sure you maintain oil changes every 30,000 mi.

also for having a lot of miles, you might want to burn mid grade or premium gas if you aren't already.
