    Unhappy LX-i '89 does not accelerate smooth

    Hi everybody!!

    I need some help with my '89 accord lx-i
    my idle is perfect ! no problems at all. but just when you want to accelerate the car it starts shaking. If you put the pedal completely down it's gone but if you try to do it smooth it won't work..
    WHaT CaN iT bE????

    If you're sure it's not the clutch/flywheel, then do what the others said.
    Good luck.
