91 LX Cut-Out when Accelerating

[wed3k]

i really dont think pcv is going to have a car fall on its face.

check your tps censor on the back of ur throtle body i had one start to go out and my car would bog down when i tried to accelerate and i would have to give it alot of gas to correct it and it wouldnt do it all the time. and it never threw a code so check that

no worries, not going anywhere anytime son.

I have to wait till' I get paid again. Where I work I get paid once a month. I glanced at the tps a few times when looking under the hood, but was unsure if it was causing my problems. I was already stressed out from putting the map sensor back where it belonged that I did not feel like messing with the tps. I was/am starting to believe that my problem had something to do with the rev limiter. Will replace the tps ($25.79 from rockauto.com)and go from there. 14 days until payday.

Check all four spark plugs. I was having a similar issue. It turned out to be bad plugs. They looked okay (they were grey not wet or anything) but after i looked closer the igniter on the end of a couple of the plugs had worn down. This made it fire enough to make it run but accelerating was putting enough fuel on the plugs causing misfire. It happened right after i bought mine. It wouldnt have gotten to that point if the previous owner had done proper maintaince.

I have made it past the general tune-up phase. Plugs are fine.

un plug your tps while your car is running and see what happens, if nothing happens you know it's bad. edit: although if you buy a new one, be sure and set it correctly.

i know under the hood can seem overwhelming. I suggest everyone do a wire tuck.... once you do, nothing is ever overwhelming again! lol

Still not payday yet. Probably the 30th. Have been constantly wondering why my car seems to run fine when the O2 and the IACv are both unplugged, but not when they are plugged in. It just doesn't make any sense. I replaced both! Becoming a little overwhelmed with these thoughts and am beginning to believe it may never get fixed.
Might feel better if I ever make it to see Keele, work schedule permitting.....

I unplugged the TPS on a whim, and noticed drastic improvement on gears 1-3, but cut out returns on 4th. I am going to go ahead and replace it due to the acceleration improvement on the lower gears. My focus has shifted from a fuel problem to a fire problem, with the distributor and the rev limiter in particular. I will keep an eye on all the sensors as well (Makes me miss having an older vehicle.) Hoping it's not the trans. I seriously have no idea what can fix this problem, I will probably end up replacing everything under the hood with the way things are going so far.

BLUBB2 have you made any progress yet?

Yes, I had my EGR plugged on the TPS and vise versa. I had no idea considering these are almost identical 3 prong connectors minus the wire colors AND it didnt throw a CEL for it and I finished up a swap not too long ago..

Oh well, the issue was resolved at least

Good luck with yours bro.

Any updates OP? Have you still replaced the entire dizzy? hate to say it, but most intermittent random problems that just seem to "develop" out of nowhere tend to be issues with the pickup in the distributor. There are 3 sensors in there, as well as the module plus 9091 internal coil or 9293 the space is unused.

have you checked reference voltage @ all sensors?

[sick6sect]

I replaced the TPS and cleaned out my throttle body, I noticed a increase with acceleration, but the underlying problem remains.

The plan of action now:
1. Cut off or drill out Catalytic Converter (unsure of why I haven't done this yet)
2. Replace the Distributor.
3. Replace the ECU.

Sometime in between those I plan on cleaning out the EGR system.

edit: 02-26-2011 purchased a new distributor, waiting for it to arrive. I will update again when I get it replaced. Please feel free to post suggestions.

did you use an ohm meter to make sure you set you tps correctly?

your problems are not dealing with the tranny.

once th tps is calibrated correctly, it has to be a distributer issue, rather its the coil or something in it. even though ecu's do go bad often, i've never had a honda ecu take a crap on me personally.

unfortunately i don't have any accord parts anymore. i wish i did, I'd like to help ya build up your auto.
have you seen my old videos of my auto cb7?

if you can stand the chain hitting the camera their ya go.

Hey it was nice meeting you too, and your wife and son. You just caught me on a really bad day at work, i was highly pissed about my outcome with paint issues that week, If your ever around, you and your wife and son should come hang out, with my wife and 1 1/2 year old son and I at the house. We can always figure something out to do to your car if we get bored.

Spark plugs? I don't see anything about plugs in these 3 pages. My car did this, and it was a plug fouling.

[sick6sect]

Forget to calibrate the TPS, found the thread to do so. Will take care of that in the morning and let ya'll know the results. Already bought a new distributor, so I will replace that as well. Even if the TPS calibration fixes the problem.
