aloha,
i just bought a 1986 Accord LXi and had the clutch replaced and the rear main seal. I found out by taking out the spark plugs that one of the plug holes was crossthreaded and I have just fixed that however, i am still having a few problems. First of all when i start it up, and no matter how long i drive it or how hot it gets, the idle on the car jumps up and down from about 800RPM's to about 1500RPM's...and sometimes...but NOT ALL THE TIME...whether i am on the freeway or in a 35 mile an hour zopne...the car will just lose power ....it will decelerate on its own even with the gas peddle to the floor...and then whether i downshift or not it will suddenly perk back up again. Like i said it does not do this all the time...i was driving two weeks ago in town and it did this thing while i was going about 35 MPH and then it did not happen for a while...then last week i was on the freeway going about 55-60mph and it lost decelerated until i was almost on the side of the road...but suddenly it perked back up and i have not had a problem since then. Any ideas i would appreciate it. Oh and I am new to this forum..so Aloha from Honolulu.
Peace
