"Mike, if memory serves me correctly, that Honda has fuel injection. That being the case, it sounds like your fuel pressure regulator isn't functioning properly. An electronic fuel pump is located in the gas tank. That pump gives off a constant pressure and that pressure is then regulated to the fuel delivery rail by allowing some of the pressure to bleed off back to the gas tank on a return line via the fuel pressure regulator. The fuel pressure regulator is vacuum operated, so take a look along the fuel delivery rail for a sort of cylindrical apparatus with a vacuum line attached to it. Insure that the vacuum line is not cracked and leaking. Repair or replace that first if it's bad. You can check vacuum leaks with a hand vacuum pump available at most auto parts stores. Just make sure that line isn't leaking. Vacuum leaks can also present themselves as rough running (not smooth idles). The fuel pressure regulator is an easy replacement if it's bad. The fuel rail on your car is a shiny aluminum stick that runs along the back side of the engine between the engine and firewall. The fuel pressure regulator is located on the drivers side of that rail. You also may want to have a dealer run fault codes on the car. That car is equipped with an OBD interface under the steering column. It looks like a old style computer cable terminal connector. Sometimes the fuel pump is faulty, but in order of least expensive repair, the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator is only a few dollar. The fuel pressure regulator is maybe $60, but the fuel pump is about $500 for someone to replace it. I am enclosing a vacuum line map that will show the fuel pressure regulator.

Let me know how it works out."

I have a 1992 coupe lx honda accord that has the bogging issue when you hit the gas, it’s done it a few times and i thought it was issue with gas not being warm enough after start up but i’ve let car warm up and got same outcome so i’m not sure what it is. i’ve also had my car stall because of reason and wouldn’t start back up and when i’d try to start it back up it would turn over and i would give some gas and it’d make a strange back fire noise or pop from exhaust.

I'm having the same problem. I replaced the engine and trans in my 94 automatic. Didnt know anything about the one I put in so I put the trans from the one that I took out because I knew it ran because I drove it and now that everything is switched it wants to die out after I get about 50 feet in gear. I give it gas at the throttle body outside of the car and it tries to cut off when I give it throttle. All kinds of new parts I have thrown at it and nothing is fixing it. What else can I do?
