It does change but I don't know that it would kill the vehicle. It just sends a speed reading to the tach and such. So if it's just sitting it will idle and rev fine but as soon as you start driving it want's to die/dies.... Did you try cleaning any of those valves?

 

yeah, i cleaned em when we swapped out the engine last summer, but get this, i went out and tried it, unplugged the sensor, and only had trouble once... over an hour... only once.... so theres still a little something or other to work out, but at least it drives

 

does it have an updated ignitor ?? if ignitor is black ( oki ) replace it ,, also chk the connection at distributor plugs and ignitor wires

 

Got a 92 accord EX myself...and if I'm not mistaken they came with the f22a6. That is what I have in mine straight from the dealer. But regradless...look at the fuel system. Faulty injectors or poor flow to them could be an issue. That would explain while at idle it runs fine, but when you move, i.e. apply more throttle and thus more fuel flow, the engine dies. Insuffecient fuel.
