when crusing my car chokes, goes normal, then chokes again.

[accordfreak]

anybody know why my car is choking when I'm crusing or when I'm trying to acclerate? it happens at random times.i have a 94 accord w/ 90k miles ..and the 90k tune up was already done...so what is making the car choke? thanks

how's the fuel filter ? did anybody changed it ? what about your plug wires. my old subaru used to to that with bad wires, even thou they were looking like new

[Quist]

yep check the wires and plugs, did you happen to wash your engine or get it wet??

[accordfreak]

well the fuel filter was changed about a year ago. and seems like no problems there....my wires are also about a year old with magnacore wires...and nope my engine wasn't washed recently. could it be a bad fuel pump? or the fuel sending unit?

i think it might be the fpr then, or a leak in the intake system

What about the distributor? In my '88 Volvo (PoS) I had choking problems while cruising, it felt like the clutch slipping. I also had the occasional problem where it wouldn't accelerate past a certain RPM. Turns out the distributor wiper was so bad that the electricity was arcing across the wiper since there was no physical connection. :cool:

QUIST: Why do you ask about the washing? Like, if the answer were yes, then what would you propose as the cause of the problem?

becuase if he got water in the distributor his car will not start or choke as he described
