assuming it is an automatic, this sounds like the throttle valve control cable is either sticking or needs adjusting. This is the cable from the gas pedal to the transmission throttle valve lever.
look in the FAQ or I also will come back and link it but my browser is misbehaving.

had a car doing the same thing, it turned out to be the torque converter locking and unlocking, the box is in another accord now that doesnt have a auto box control ecu so theres no such thing as a lock up torque converter :) problem gone
