carb pulsing

[meanaccord]

When i go to take off. My car pulls and then it cuts off. Like it would jerk as if i had stalled it. The it picks back up. Soooo embarassing. can anybody help?

[Haolerot]

My car does the sam thing when im comming to a stop right after i started it....not that embarrasing...my windows are embarrasing......when i roll "it" down it squeaks really loud...i say "it" cause my drivers side window doesnt work

[meanaccord]

Does anybody have a clue what it could be?

[shepherd79]

it is your fuel pump. buddy of mine had the same problem on his carbed accord.

[A20A1]

running out of fuel... the pump can't keep up either cause it too weak.. or it's clogged... check the fuel filters.

[MrBen]

No it isnt. It's probably the clutch if you have it. If its a crappy aftermarket clutch or something the ride is going to suffer. Trust me, my friend had a crappy aftermarket clutch in his car and replaced it with a very nice replacement and the problem is gone. If you don't have a clutch then check your fuel filters, both of them.

[meanaccord]

It has a brand new fuel pump, fuel filter. And a brand new clutch. the clutch has about 1000 miles on it. SO that dont help. And i had plenty gas. just 33 miles on the full tank so... I guess that dont help too much. It does it like evernow and then. It really did it bad when i first put my intake on. Then now it dont do it. It just worries me that it was messing up.

[MrBen]

There are two fuel filters, make sure BOTH have been replaced. And don't say you think so. Honda dealerships say they do and they don't (personal experience) so MAKE SURE they have both been done. And did your car do this before you put in the new clutch?

[meanaccord]

Yea my dad replaced them. I cant remember if it did it before i got the new clutch. I didnt really drive it, my dad did. But it stopped now so...its all cool appreciate the help anywayz

Did you check your timing?

[3rdGenFanatic]

Maybe some carb cleaner would help, or ... I hate to say this.. You may need to rebuild your carb. There could be a clog in the lines as well or perhaps something foreign got into your gas tank.

[MrBen]

Yeah it pretty much goes withouts saying that if you have a 3rd Gen your carb needs to be cleaned and rebuilt.

Is it easy to replace your fuel filters? and can you do it yourself? and how much.... my 86 Accord LX carbed 5speed tends to jerk every now and then so It may be that or my spark plugs.... Well hook me up with the info if anyone can help me... thanks... Lataz

I'm not sure how much the filters cost... when I replaced mine I just bought an in-line clear view filter that would fit... I replaced the rubber fuel lines at the rear and at the front... there will be a lot of gas in the lines so get a suitable catch pan... anyways the lines at the rear are 3/8" and from the firewall to the filter is 3/8" but the fuel line from the filter to the carb is the only 1/4" fuel line.

you only need about 1 foot of 1/4" diameter fuel line.
get about 4 - 5 feet of the 3/8" just to be safe.

[89AccordLXI666]

Nah I'm not going to replace my fuel lines, I am just going to replace the fuel filters, but I guess I'll get off my Lazy ass and go look at the prices my self rather than asking you guy's that question... LOL I was just being a lazy ass...LOL Acually I am at school right now and I don't get out until 2:03pm and I just wanted to know offhand how much it would cost, but I'm going out for lunch during luch time at school and I'll just run up to Autozone and find out... But thanks guy's for the info.. ;-)
