I have a 1993 Honda Accord that seems to cut out and lose power. After starting it in the morning and driving it down the road, it will cutout and lose power about 10 minutes into my drive. Ussually it does it about the same time everyday and then after it works its bugs out, it will run fine. Although lately it has been cutting out every once in a while throughout day while I'm driving around 55-60 mph? Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Hi Donkey57,

When it cuts out, was it easy to restart?

You mean it cuts out when cruising with accelerator pedal depressed too?

The car does'nt stop running, it starts fine and runs good most of the time. There is two times that I notice it cut out and lose power or feel really sluggish and that is 10 min into my drive in morning or sometimes throughout day while I'm driving around 55-60 mph. It will ussually act sluggish and cut out for a minute or two and then it starts running fine. But it stays running and does'nt stall out. Would a catalytic converter show these signs? Another thing the car used to do but seems to have stopped now, is when you put it in park the idle would rev up and down, but I was told this could be an ildle air control valve? I put new plugs, wires, cap/rotor, pcv valve, water pump/timing belt kit, and it was smog and came out good all in the last year.
