This seems to be worst when the car has warmed up, when I start off in the morning it is very responsive, if I mash the gas in 1st gear it will spin the tires, but when warm it does not respond that sharply, it's more of a gradual ramp up in power.
I have replaced plugs, wires, dist. Cap and rotor, and the o2 sensor. After doing that it was much better for a few days but now it is more or less back to the way it was.
You responded to another fellow with very similar symptoms in a 98 Accord by saying it sounded like the distributor and that that was a common thing (you used the term achilles heel) -- can you explain in more detail what you meant? Does that sound like it could be the problem in my case?
Thanks for any insight.
