I have a friend who has an 88 accord that seems to not like running.

If he's driving on the highway or constant driving it runs great, but if he gets into stop and go traffic or short distances from time to time the car will lose RPM and stall out. It will start back up again but he has to keep giving it gas to keep the car running.

This is a carbuerated engine so I'm a little stumped. The fuel pump and cat recently replaced. Only time he throws a cel is when the car stalls out.

 

check for vac leaks. i used to hate my 3rd gen because of all the damn vac lines.

also check out http://www.3geez.com. its a site for 3rd gen accords. its pretty kick ***.

 

I would agree if this was a consistent problem but it doesn't happen all the time. Other than vaccum lines what would cause this issue?
