Gold_Driver: I have the same problem, looks like its coming out of the PCV tube just abovethe filter, right? Mine JUST happened when I changed to Rotella T Synthetic 5W-40 (always used Mobil 1 Synthetic 5W 30). Might just be the grommet? Not sure. DId you get yours figured out? Mines leaking a lot. I'm not for temp fix's but I have a 1000 mile trip tomorrow for a funeral so I'm throwing some STP in there to "slurry it up" a bit. Let me know what you found I'm curious!>!>!> I've got a 95 accord, SAME PROBLEM. Lindy

Don't worry, i have the same problem. I have a 89 Honda Accord LX that will drive fine most of the time, but occasionally it loses power on the freeway, and feels like it's choking. (Power kicks in for about 3 seconds, then cuts out completely, then kicks in etc) Generally if i turn it off and wait a few minutes it will work again, although it has problems starting straight afterwards. (Completely dead) The best way to get it to act up is give it heaps, preferably when going uphill.
I would love some hints on what the hell is wrong with my car, i've had a kit through the carby and new filters etc.

what came to mind was a clogged EGR valve. however, googling revealed others with the symptoms you describe and mention faulty crank arm position sensor, or faulty ignition circuit, distributor or cap.

1989 accord lxi cold starting by hollywood454

When engine is cold, I will have to attempt to start a number of times. It will start and die over and over, probably six to eight times, then finally stay running. After that, it runs good. Also, check engine light on.

yeah, buy a new accord.
 
then there is duct tape.
 
seriously though, sounds like you need a new latch if you can't disassemble and fix. maybe a junk yard / pull-it yard?

Erratic Behavior by jbrandon0396

My 89 Accord LX does some weird stuff. First, After running for a while, 15-20 minutes, it usually will not restart until waiting for another 20-30 minutes. When the engine is cold, it will not run correctly until the check engine light comes ON. Then sometimes, it sounds like it is hitting a rev limiter just before shifting, but this is when driving in a very normal, and legal, fashion. The most frustrating of these is it's failure to restart. Is this an ECM, oxygen sensor or something else? I have just replaced the fuel pump and it works great. Thanks for the help!

I just purchased an '85 Honda. I needed something to get around in. I drove it home and it died. I replaced the battery and something drained it instantly. I replaced that battery. I have power, but it wont start. I am not sure if it is the alternator or starter? Also, my steering wheel does a 360 when in park.
