Please retrieve the codes for the check engine light and let us know what they are, that will help us to help you further diagnose this issue. I did a google search for "How to find check engine light codes on a 92 accord" and this was the first thing to come up. Try using search, not only on this site, but google (the whole world).

Limp Mode

Not the best idea to keep running the car when they're obviously an issue with it. You will want to jump the MES connector behind the glove box to flash the codes. There are a ton of tutorials online on how to do this.

Possibly the TPS sensor, but don't know anything without codes.

Step 1. Open the passenger door.

Step 2. Follow the carpet up to just under the dashboard

Step 3. Just pull the carpet down and you should see a blue connector with 2 wires on it, sometimes its plugged into something but not usually.

Step 4. Turn the key to where the check engine light comes on

Step 5. Get a paper clip or small wire, insert it into the blue connector. Stick one side of the wire in one hole and one in the other.

Step 6. Turn the key to the next click but don't start the car. If done correctly, the check engine light should blink..(it may be key off , hook wire, than turn key to either of the 2 clicks before starting the car)

Step 7. Read the codes

It's worked for thousands before you. I'm sure you'll be fine.
