Occasional Poor Acceleration
I have a problem that is intermittent. Sometime if I've been driving gently in traffic in my 1999 automatic sedan 4cyl when I need to accelerate flooring the pedal does not result in acceleration. This can be dangerous. The car is very well maintained but I still have this problem.
Can anyone please suggest a remedy?
Also can anyone recommend a good Internet parts supplier?
Thanks

RE: Occasional Poor Acceleration
I had a similar issue when starting the car the accelerator was sluggish. Check the obvious things like spark plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor. But, what helped me was a fuel injection cleaning service at the dealer. They use this stuff called BG44K, and they do a 3 stage cleaning of the fuel system. You can buy BG44K from some dealers as well, its expensive though! Honda didn't want to sell it to me. I just got it from the dealer across from them.
Hope this helps at all. Good luck, I also have a 1999 Honda Accord 4 cylinder EX.

RE: Occasional Poor Acceleration
I bought a '96 EX back in April and it was running rather sluggish and idled pretty rough too when I bought it. Since then I ran 2 cans of Sea Foam through it in the gas and the car purrs like a kitten now... you might give that a shot... HTH...
