Default major problem or fixable?

recently my '92 accord has started having what i think maybe i transmission problem....it doesnt do it consistently enough to take it to have it looked at but sometimes it seems like no matter how hard i floor it the rpms wont go over 3000 and my acceleration is next to nothing even if the peddle is to the floor....but it only does it once in a while....idk what to do..or what the problem might be...if you have any ideas on what it is or how to fix it let me know?

it sounds like your ecu is in safe mode or something. because it doesnt let the car go over 3k rpm in safe mode.

i agree... but safe mode from time to time? that sounds fishy to me. you might want to ask a honda dealership about it and see what is up with ur ecu

w/e u wanna call it, it would definantly throw a CEL, in fact, you should feel like jim lovel.........if its not throwin codes, but wont rev over 3000, thats kinda weird.....will it hit 3000 and stick there, or hit 3000 and drop?
