Default 88 Accord "Sputtering" - 01-17-2009 , 04:32 AM






You guys helped me with my idle issue but now I have another problem.
I have an 88 accord, carburated, with roughly 180,000 miles on it.
Going down the freeway the other day I noticed that when I get to
around 65-70 mph or so, the engine starts to sputter. It only does it
when I start going past 60, not when I'm just traveling in the city. I
have given it a recent tune up, with cap and rotor, spark plugs and
wires, both fuel filters, a new PCV valve, air cleaner. I just don't
know what else it sould be. This car is never ending. I've heard that
it might be the catalytic converter. If you could give any suggestions
that would be great!

Thanx

Possibilities: ignition coil, distributor, fuel pump.

If the cat has never been replaced, that may be the cause.
