So, here's what you have to do - it's a frikkin tranny reset!!

Drive in manual mode M5 for 5 minutes at over 60MPH, then switch it to M6 for 1 minute, then back to M5 for 2 minutes, then back to auto.
Note: the car is going to sputter continuously when you have it on M5 for the 5 minutes.

That was it - drove around for 30 minutes afterwards and no issues what so ever!! Unbelievable!!!

SOURCE: car spits and sputters and stalls after driving a while

sounds like a fuel pump problem,with fuel pumps u can have pressure but not enough volume,try goin up a steeper hill in 2nd gear and get about 3000 rpms on the engine and see if it really drops out bad and is really gutless,if that happens without a check engine light coming on it might be yur pump and u should also replace the fuel filter at the same time,hope this helps

first thing is the engine light on?
these cars had problems with the on plug ign coils and if this is a misfire the comp will tell you which cyl is the problem.

There is no points or condenser on a 92 accord, check the fuel pressure first, maybe a complete tune-up will help

I would try to replace your spark plugs, and spark plug wires, My 88 Vic did the same thing...now it runs like a champ....you could also try fuel injector cleaner.

This could be fuel filter clogged and/or impurities in the fuel system, fuel injection not adjusted properly or faulty coil. Hope this helps.

98 FORD EXPEDITION ACCELERATION ISSUES

Do you have a check engine light blinking when this problem occurs? I assume you do because if it is missing and sputtering like you say the engine control computer would detect that and turn on the check engine light. Next step is to have the systems fault codes read through the diagnostic port under the dash in front of the driver, Autozone and others does this test for free.

I put 2,720.00 worth of work into my 97 Pontiac grand am. Engine light is flashing the car sputters and might get up to 40 mile per hour I took it out on the road again and got it up to 75 mile per hour...

Sounds like who ever did the work on your car needs to go back and check the plug wires to see if they are going to the right plugs. and check the fuel filter, and fuel pump pressure. I would also check the Catalytic Converter to see if it is stopped up, if so replace it. Check the throttle position sensor with an ohm meter, if bad replace it. Check the oxygen sensors as well. I am running out of Ideas, so I hope this helps.

these systems are fairly complicated and not easily diagnosed best to have it properly scanned with a real time scanner
