just got a 1994 accord ex coupe 144,000 miles on it back on the road. It has been in the family since new. It has a miss in the pickup until 2800 rpms. In neutral with no load on the engine {no ac} there is no miss. If i turn on AC it will miss up to 2800rpms and then the miss is gone. just changed plugs and wires. wondering what to try next. any insight would help.


thanks chris

Possible fuel delivery issue. Ignition timing may be off at the lower rpm range for some reason. Only use 87 octane gas, higher octane does NOT mean more power.

Marvel mystery oil in the gas may help. I think its better than lucas. Its cheaper as well.
