I looked at the DIY threads and I never saw anything that really seemed to fit my problem.


Car starts great, but will have a slight miss. The faster I gain speed the more it missed, if I let off the gas a little it'll try to smooth out more and not miss so bad but always does so. It's just like bad wires or plugs. The plugs looked fine, slightly brown, dry, like normal, one looked cleaner and not so brown but all looked ok so I reinstalled them all. I bought plug wires, cap, and rotor bug. It still misses. The other day it barely pulled to highway speeds like I'm minus 50hp lol. After about 5 miles I hit road workers and stopped, after I started driving again, the next 3 miles it missed less. This all started last Friday, on the way home(25-30mile) it barely missed, gradually got worse. I've put around 100 miles on it since then. I thought water in gas, or a clogged fuel filter, but all is a guess. I've never had much experience with either one but both will cause a similar problem.

 

Check your timing, and ignition timing as well

 

Try cleaning the EGR ports. It is common for them to get plugged up.

In the common DIY thread on top of the gen tech help forum, there is a link for cleaning the EGR ports for a 5th generation accord you should try.

Search d8N-SE047VY on YouTube for a good video on this.

Search T2T013.pdf on google to get a pdf on how to do this. The last two pages show the procedure for the 94-97 accord.

 

The CEL never came on, correct?

 

Correct, no CEL on.

 

Well, stick with what PA and Ebarrera have suggested....was hoping for a code to narrow it down.

 

i would put in a fuel system treatment like "Lucas" or "Techron"

how long has it been since changing the fuel filter?

the service manual suggests 91 ron or better fuel. here in texas most stations only offer 87, 89, 93 so i use the premium 93 and never have missing issues.


like others have said check your egr ports, what about your pcv valve? have you replaced that recently?


also you may have a clogged up catalytic converter

 

Me too, and this issue happen while my broken sensor was found but after I changed it that cleared the CEL.

 

I've had this car all of maybe 500 miles. I plan on changing most things such as these but in time. I'll try to get on these 2 this week.

 

Not sure the pic will show or how large because it's from my iPhone so I can't resize it. If huge I'm sorry. Anyways, the EGR ports were clogged up tight, all 4! It still sputters a little bit but overall runs great! I bet 180,000 miles of never cleaning the EGR but in the last 10 miles it's clean. I did a crappy job but I'm getting some cleaner and redoing it but it runs good now. Thanks for all your help guys and girls on helping me on this car.
