    87 accord hesitation at 3,000

    Have noticed a hesitation at 3,000 rpms with the accord lately... Any ideas what could cause it?

    with car in park: rev motor, and sounds perfect

    Hesitation only shows up under load down road at 2700-3,000 every time... gear doesnt matter

    Plugs

    Dirty fuel filters

    Loose / poor electrical connection to Battery or Plugs

    Vacuum leak

    Ignition timing

    Maybe something with the float level

    Carb venturies wiggling loose



    So it will rev fine to 2,000 then bogs down at around 3,000?
