My Honda Accord won't accelerate. When I start the car up it will stall 2-3 times before it will idle. After that it idles great. Then I go to give it gas and it stalls. I start it back up and as long as the rpms are up I can accelerate. Once the car warms up it goes better. When I stop and try to take off it hesitates and jerks but it will take off. When Im on the highway it will jerk and jump around but then it will shoot, and I'm going 70 before I know it. Please help me. The computer has no codes on it any more. I had a code 1 which is O2 Sensor and I changed it but nothing changed. The car doesn't act alot differently when I disconect the Throttle Postion Sensor.

Hi curtie94,

Get the spark plug wires and distributor cap checked. Seems the engine is misfiring causing the hesitation and lack of power.
