Question 95 honda accord that stalls out...help

Ok so this is the first time actually owning a honda i have been a ford and chevy truck kinda guy for some years now. But i bought a a 95 honda accord with a 2.7L 2675cc v6 to save some gas. This is the thing i ran the codes before i bought it and it replaced the sensors and it was running fine for a maybe a month. I started it about a week ago it ran for about a minute or two then died. Now it will start and idle for maybe 10-45 seconds depending then just dies. It will not respond when i press on the gas while it is running. I was just wondering if there is a common problem i should be aware of so i don't just burn money and time. I really appreciate any help. I am going to borrow a obdII scanner so i can see what codes its throwing but it will be a few days and just wanted some brain storming/help. Thanks

That accord should also have an OBD1 connector. See the writeup in the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum for a link to check codes.

I would inspect the spark plugs. If they look marginal, get the NGK ZFR5F-11 plugs for ~$2 each at most parts stores. Only use this spark plug.

Take a look at the spark plug wires for signs of wear. The OEM honda wires seem to last forever.

After checking for codes, disconnect the battery and clean all ends of both battery cables with a wire brush or sand paper.

Thank you i will double check those items, it does have a OBDII connector I also thought it would have a OBDI the 4 cylinder does but the v6 carries the OBDII.

On the four cylinder, the 94/95 are OBD1. The 96/97 are OBD2, but have both an OBD2 and OBD1 connector.

I was assuming the 95-97 V6, which were OBD2 would also have the OBD1 connector.

The 1995 Accord V6 was OBD-II compliant (unlike the 95 4 cylinder); however, it should still have the 2-P service check connector as PAhonda is stating, which can be jumped with a small paper clip or wire to get the trouble codes by counting the flashes on the Check Engine Light or D4 transmission indicator. An OBD-II reader/scanner will give more detailed codes through.

Edit: Some 5th gen Accord V6 had problems with the ignition coil.
