91 Accord takes off hard
This car is a 5-speed manual and when I take off from first it doesn't want to go easy. It was parked in a guarge one night and it took off easy. It hasn't been cold here in NH.
From the lack of info in your post, I'm going to take a wild stab and say TPS?
Good science is good observation. Pay attention to EVERYTHING that you are doing and how the car responds under different circumstances then fill us in with as many details as possible. Otherwise, anything you get from people responding to your question, including myself, is simply speculation.

Today it didn't do it and it was about 80 and humid. It does it if it is cold at night. If I try to get the rpms up around 3000 when taking off it wont do it either. It doesn't get that good of gas mileage either. Could it be injectors? I havent used injector cleaner since I got the car in August. I don't know if that helps.

The reason I said TPS is an issue that I'm currently having.
Somewhere in my wiring the TPS during my conversion/tuck, those wires evidently weren't done very well. Now, only on occasion, my TPS doesn't see throttle till about 3-5%, giving me a not so even take off. Now if I give it throttle beyond that 3-5% before coming out of the clutch, no problem. But simply turning the car off, wiggling the TPS wiring, and firing it back up typically solves the problem.
Sound like your issue?

I have never touched the TPS it is still original. Something else that happened today was when I was taking off from a stop sign the car started to bounce, so I shifted to second and it kept doing it until I got to third. That was the only time it has done it since I changed the fuel pressure regulator, but I am not having any of the same features.
I wasn't necessarily implying that it was your TPS wiring. You have to remember, your TPS is a little over 20 years old. Could be the sensor itself. Grab a manual and a multimeter and test it.
