Hi. My name is Walter and I live in Apache Junction, Arizona.

I have two Hondas.... A 1994 Accord EX Wagon with 228,000 miles and a 96 Accord LX 4 Door with 119,000 miles.

The 1996 is doing a thing where it is running along just fine (at all speeds, including up to 95 mph)

But then it begins like hiccupping, bucking, losing power intermittently.

If I turn the AC off it immediately stops doing it. Turn AC back on the jerking starts again, often after less than a minute.

Is it possibly because of the load the AC puts on the engine? Could it be starving for air or fuel? Or...?

Any ideas greatly appreciated... TIA

 

Well, it looks like the biggest part of the problem was old spark plug wires.... But there will be plenty of more issues with this car most likely.... So, I'll be around
