    Red face 87 accord hatch! carb issue... help?

    This 87 automatic accord with only 70k miles on it has been running fine since I got it a month ago. (Was sitting for a couple months before.) Only a little hesitation when you press the gas from a stop.

    Anyways recently it would randomly stall while driving. Then it would idle rough like it was running on two cylinders. I replaced the plugs, wires, cap, and rotor with it running a little bit better but still stalling. Now when I start it I have to press the gas and as soon as I let go... it stalls.

    I checked the choke and it seems to be open when the car heats up. Checked the rear solinoid and it pushes forward when the ignition is on. I cleaned the carb with spray and also checked the timing. No vaccum leaks that I can see.

    Won't idle at all now

    Update, I poured gas into the round barrel towards the front of the car and the car runs good. Then the gas runs out and stalls. Help!

    aounsa likw ur fuel filters may be clogged, there is one on the firewall that looks kinda like a big pill(just follow the fuel line from the carb to the firewall), and the other one is under the car behind the rear drivers side wheel.

    x2. A rebuild is really the only thing I recommend for a carb acting up.
