    High rev, choke opens all the way, engine dies

    What is causing this? The other day doing about 90 I was just screwing around and I jumped this little roller hill getting the two front wheels off the ground for a split second. Came back down, didnt really come down hard. But now when Im at a stop light, and the engine is warm. I take off, engine stumbles, then dies (very embarrasing)

    So tonight I took off my airbox, dumped a few cups of seafoam, and deepcreep into the carb, to no success.

    I started playing with my throttle cable, reved it up, and noticed the lever on the electric choke pulled back all the way, and the engine stumbled and died.

    Anyone got any clues?

    Well after the motor stumbled and died did it restart?

    Did you over rev the motor? you could have hit a fuel cut and your float bowl slowly drained.

    Yup restarts instantly at the turn of the key. when i said High rev, i ment 3000+ rpms. And Ive never over-rev'd since i bought this thing. lol grrr. Like picture yourself at a stop light, idleing waiting for it to turn green. Turns green, you give it a little gas.

    Normal Situation: Accord drives off fine.

    My situation: Accord hesitates, then engine dies.
