1986 Accord 4 door carburetor. I live in a town approx 1400 feet above sea level, I work in a town approx 2400 feet. The problem is as follows... In my home town the car runs perfect, when I get to exactly the same point on the mountain I have to travel to work the car starts stalling out really bad, acts like it's not getting enough fuel. This only happens on a hill though, on flat land it runs great even at the higher elevation. At the lower elevation it has no trouble at all climbing hills, it does great up 3/4's of the mountain I have to travel except when it hits that exact same point in the freeway. This spot is no more steep than the rest of the mountain, the only difference being that it's higher in elevation. I read in the manual that the fuel injected models have a BARO (or altitude sensor) in the left side of the trunk, but it says nothing about one in the carb models. Tried to research it online and 1/3 say it has one, 1/3 say it doesn't, and the rest say it's built into the MAP sensor. I have now read that the carb models don't have a MAP sensor at all, which I can't seem to find in the manual I have anyway. Advance Auto says there is a seperate BARO sensor but it's a dealer part. Autozone says the carb models aren't even listed in their computer system, and O'reilley's says it has a BARO sensor but no MAP sensor. I'm losing my mind here. I assumed the issue was due to some type of altitude sensor but I may be wrong. Any help is greatly appreciated.
