Engine Performance problem
1989 Honda Accord 4 cyl Automatic 147000 miles

i have a 1989 honda accord and the trouble that i have is keeping it running. i can get it started but then it starts sputtering, then when i put it in gear it dies on me. i have given it new distributor cap, new spark plug wires, new spark plugs, and even a new rotar button. and i even checked the carberator, so now i am at a loss and i dont know what it is that is causing the problem or where to begin.

Hi there,

I would be looking at a vacuum leak or a carby problem, what is the base idle speed out of gear?
