You have a very old car with very low mileage. Realize this car is 19 years old, and has been driven an average of 2,289 miles per year. Although it may have low mileage there is age on all parts that require some be replaced. I would suspect you have a vacuum leak. Replace all vacuum hoses under the hood. Replace them one at a time as to not get confused which is easy to do. Replace the spark plugs & plug wires. Replace the fuel filter and air filter if you have not done so. On this car the way it is driven change the oil & filter yearly. Also have the transmission fluid/filter changed at this time unless you have done this already. Have the cooling system serviced if you have not done so. Now the next item you may not realize. You need to have the cam belt replaced. Normally on a 1990 Accord you would replace it every 90,000 miles. But this belt is 19 years old and needs replacing due to it's age rather than mileage. Remember this is an interference engine and as such if the belt breaks serious engine damage will occur. Also purchase a can of Seafoam Motor Treatment. Pour a full can in a full tank of fuel. This is one of the very best fuel injector cleaners & fuel stabilizers out there and you need to use it. You are storing fuel for long periods of time in your tank and need to use a fuel stabilizer constantly. If after doing all this it still runs rough, seek professional help.
