Default fuel pressure regulator

Can you define 'irratic'?
Next time you open the hood look for the little sticker that shows WHAT YEAR the Accord is.
Usually there are 2-10mm bolts holding the F.P.R. on the rail.

Check coolant levels be sure the block is burped thru the 12mm bleed screw at the T-stat housing.
If that is all well and good, adjust the FITV. It lays sideways under the throttle body intake opening.
2 phillips screws hold the cap on, then inside is a nylon 'split' screw with a brass cone sticking thru the center. Turn the screw in a couple turns, you should hear no air bypassing in there when the engine warms up.
