    Driveability question 93 Accord EX

    Guys and Ladies..i have a problem with my 93 Accord EX. Its an auto if that makes a difference and has 117K on it...The problem started the other day when we had a snowstorm, which i was forced to drive in. The car seemed to be running fine, when all of the sudden i took off from a traffic light and the car began running really rough, almost like on 3 cylinders or something, i was only going about 10-15 mph when it happened, then the car started bucking and then the CEL came on....im sure there was snow and shit all up under the car from driving in it.
    I replaced the distributor about 2 months ago and the cap and rotor at the same time. Today i cleaned the TB and the IACV hoping that would take care of it, but no luck at all.....Forgot to add that after i parked the car when the CEL kicked on, when i got off work that day and started the car up, the CEL was not on and still isn't....i still dont have a CEL on in the car but it still runs rough more so at lower speeds, once i get up to about 40mph or so, it seems to clear up a bit...
    Sorry for the lengthy post, just wanted to make sure i gave enough info. to try to diagnose the problem...

    Thanks in advance

        When is the last time you changed your spark plug wires? My old 90 accord ex had that same issue. I took off from a stop sign and the car started running on 3 cylinders ie. really rough. I went on to find out that the resistance in the wires was extremely high and that they had never been changed. I changed them along with the cap, rotor and plugs and after that had no more problems. Hope that helps

            Not sure when the last time the wires were done, they are NGK wires, which are pretty good i think...the plugs look fine and the cap and rotor were just done about 3 weeks ago, before this whole problem started!!!

              It should be stored, unless you disconected the battery and it erased it.

                    well that erased the code.Only way to pull back is if you drive it.Then pull it, its not hard at all.Like rickyducksworth said, everything else is just guessing.
