Power in 1st gear someone has to know something
I have no power in 1st gear after I let off the clutch, I can floor the gas peddle and do not get a response until 3 or 4 seconds later. Can anyone give me an idea as too what is wrong?
I have changed all the plug, cap and rotor, I use 93 octane, I cleaned the thottle. It feels as if it is getting flooded when I floor it.

Do you have an H22 or something? Because I wouldn't use 93 octane on a stock accord engine. Its probably not the cause of your problems but an accord engine is designed for 87 octane, using 93 won't do any good. You might not be getting good combustion with the 93 so it could cause hesitation.

The reason I had been using 93 Octane was because of the EGR ports gettting clogged. I was told that bad gas causes buildup of carbon in those ports.
1. Did this problem occur before or after the clutch was installed?
2. When was the last time you've reset your computer?

i would say program fuel injection related....
some input sensor to the ecm will not trigger a check engine lite...although they are bad.
i would go to the dealer and let them check out all of your emiision sensor ....
most likely your throttle sensor

Running 93 octane isn't going to help keep the EGR ports unclogged. They're going to clog no matter what you do over time. So I'd say go back to 87, retard the timing back to the upper range of the factory spec, and try that.
Plus, I think I saw you say that you have a 94. Cleaning the EGR ports on that model is far, far easier than previous years. You won't have to do it often, and EGR systems don't tend to get used at WOT anyways.

Everytime I fool around with the timing, I reset the ECU. This issue happened before the changed the clutch. Mind you I didn't get cut the FlyWheel to the spec's of Clutch Masters. Noone here had there equipment working the day I did it, so I just installed it without cutting the flywheel.
if you have a way to check the A/F ratio, do that.....you may be running really rich, I know I am right now, I still havn't figured out EXACTLY why, but then again, I've been away from my car for about a month
