Default weird hesitation

1994 accord ex auto with 125,000 miles seems to have a problem accelerating under light throttle. Its been doing this for a few weeks and my mother just let me know yesterday. Its already been to aamco transmission and its not tranny related they suggested a tune up so I went home and did it new plugs, wires, cap and rotor and a fuel filter and a oil change and its still the same. I did a search but it seems alot of questions were not fully answered or there was no follow up. PLease help me get this fixed before she trades it in for a malibu or grand prix it took me the past 10 years to get her to at least try owning a honda and leave her gm products alone. Thanks

I have a 94 EX and mine kinda hesitated under acceleration. Not usually light throttle though, like if I pushed the pedal down half way maybe, it would take forever to actually kick in. I put some fuel injector cleaner in my tank to clean my injectors and that's helped a lot. And I talked to some other guy and he said that will help a little bit if the injectors are clogged. But I don't know if this is what you would need to do on your car, I know it helped my car a little bit. Good luck.

Some other guys on here probly have better answers than I do. But I was just letting you know from my own experience. Doesn't hurt to try. The stuff I bought was Valvoline **** I think, $3 a bottle.

p.s. - I've also got an automatic w/ about 105k on it.

Remember to give it a little time. Don't expect to notice a difference right away. I didn't notice a difference until a couple days afterwards. But sorry in advanced if it doesn't work for ya.
