My honda has issues when i start its engine. it shakes like its spark plugs are dead. i changed the spark plugs, i changed the fuel pump in the tank.i changed the speed sensor and the nozzles and injector. i can't accelerate well. it can not move if its going uphill. i cant reeve it to the extreme. could it be that the tank is dirty and the dirts are affecting the nozzles?

Is the check engine light indicating and have you checked for trouble codes?

There are many other possibilities such as a clogged exhaust system or bad ignition coils.

I did all necessary checks. I put another ignition cable just to be sure and checked the exhaust if it's clogged up.it was still the same.the check engine light is definitely on and the scan I did made me change the speed sensor.

What codes are you getting and after replacement of the speed sensor, is the code still there?

I am not getting any codes. When I changed the speed sensor, it worked fine for 2-3 weeks before it started all over again.

You would need to check the datastream to see if anything is not working within specs. this might give you an idea what is causing the problem.

When rerplacing the fuel pump, did you notice anything wrong inside the tank, such as rust or corrosion?

Datastream means the data of each component working such as the voltage of each sensor etc.

If the Check Engine Light is on and no troub;le codes are present, it could mean a bad ECU.
