I just changed my oil and air filter. I dont think the air filter had ever been replaced, and was starving my car. Now that I have both replaced, I notice how major the difference in performance is.

Oh yea a dirty air filter can really hurt performance.
I'm your local R&D nut. Fabracting, welding, tuning and breaking my stuff so you don't have to.
amazing how much better an engine runs when it gets air
Yep, a cars gotta breathe.

Don't forget to change the fuel filters!
really, will that be a drastic Improvement??? What else do I need to change???

Plugs
Wires
Distributer Cap and Rotor
Fuel filter(S) 1 for efi 2 for carb
and get some carb cleaner and clean that carb
or some throttlebody cleaner and do the same.
where do i spray the carb cleaner????

Fuel filters are like night and day difference! Go for it.
Spark plugs and wires are the same! I say go for that too. Once you get it all tuned up, it will be a pretty quick little car.
well, right now it accelerates like a bicycle even when I put the pedal to the floor.

Take off the air filter cover then take off the little metal screen and spray the hell out of the inside of the carbOriginally posted by drknow

Take off the cover to the air filter, take the air filter out. See the round brassy screen? Spray the carb cleaner like a mofo down there with someone inside the car revving it like a mofo. I say use the entire can. That's what I did! You'll see a lot of black smoke come out of the exhaust.
Cool, Ill get some tommorow. What will it improve???

Cool...Im lookin at the acceleration myself.

I am so glad I don't have a carb after driving a stock 5 speed dx I love my efi actually after driving a stock automatic LXI I love my 5 speed no comparison.Originally posted by drknow

If you have A/C, get rid of it, unless you absolutely cannot. I have driven same year, same model, same mileage 3g, one with A/C (friends) and one without (mine) and mine had much more acceleration.
Why does it matter if I turn the ac off

Extra weight.
how heavy can it be???

All I have to say is if you start adding performance products stay away from pacesetter.
The compressor is about 50 pounds
I dont have enough cash for performance parts anyways.
88 Accord DX
Anything added onto the engine, being as it only has 98hp, is going to be significant. The entire A/C system is close to 60lbs. That's pretty significant.
yea, I guess so.
