If at all possible have the ECM checked out or replace. Have had this issue with the Grenadas and Cougars. Each one turned out to be the ECM.
There are several things that can cause your 1989 Honda Accord to stall on acceleration. The most common cause is a plugged or dirty air filter.
blown head gasket
Seinfeld - 1989 The Stall 5-12 is rated/received certificates of: Canada:PG (video rating)
first thing i would check, is that the choke is turning off completely
does it stall/ have lack of power. has it ever overheated? cylinter walls may be warped.
Could be fuel delivery problems such as a plugged up fuel filter, faulty fuel pump, faulty fuel pressure regulator,
If everything else is good, like the fuel pressure ( sometimes the fuel pump in the tank stops ) wires. plugs etc. then the thing to look at is the Ign. module. It is on the distributor. "89's had that problem. You will have to pull the dist. to change the module. Not too expensive. The car will run fine then just stall. It will start again and run for a while till it happens again.
Could be many reasons such as bad alternator, or bad fuel pump.
Could be a fuel pump going bad or a clogged fuel filter,
Remove the original brakes and in stall it slowly.
its probably a computer issue or an electrical issue some where in the car i had the same problem with my car and it was computer
1989 Nissan Sentra Wagon 5 Speed intermittently wants to die out. Unless I give it gas it will stall. It will start back up again, with the same problem until problem stops. No pattern to diagnose.
