it's gone horribly wrong

[HondaMan]

I was going to school this morning, and I went to slow down for someone in front of me, and my accord just died, like it was getting no gas at all. I thought something was up, but I had to get to school on time, so I couldn't stop, but it drove fine all the way to school, and most of the day afterwards. I was taking a friend home, and it started to die on me at every red light and stop sign, and everytime I put it in neutral, I had to fight to keep it alive......
HELP ! ! !

Go thru the basics first

Check your fluids...

Then check the distributor...

wires, sparkplugs

ground wires... battery wires.

if everything is fine after that,
start checking your carburator: check you venturies, make sure they are not loose. check vacuum lines for vacuum leak.

[thundertank]

what exactly are the venturies and how do you tell if they are loose? what they cause the car to die?


thnx

I had that problem as well. Let me ask you something, does the rpm needle shake like crazy when the system feels like it is going to die?
