Hello i own a 86 honda accord lxi.It has 104,000 miles on it and ran well untill a week ago.My lady had been complaining about bogging on acceleration.I kinda drove it ignored it forawhile.Well this now has become a problem.The car will startwhen cold run for awhile till it gets warm then when i accel it boggs down and dies.I just replaced the fuel filter used injector cleaner checked plugs roter and dist cap all look not new but good.it will start when cold run till warm die then wont start till it gets cool again.i cant think of any other details but i did take off air circulation tube and clean air flow flap or butterfly Now im stumped and dont want to get another anal experience with honda dealer.Please help hondaman Thanks coleo

i don't have too much experience with the older accords but it might be the efi relay that has the problems. i really don't know what to say. so your ecu led is not blinking any codes is it ?

P.S. Sorry for the post last night

Well no ecu light blinking with any codes.I added injector cleaner let run for 2 hours straight and now it seems to be ok the thing is i still am scared to take it further then i can tow it home.Can you maybe expain the symptoms of a bad efi relay.But for now it is running ok.

p.s. Oh it's ok i know many who cant handle their alchohal
