What could be cause for poor acceleration on a 2001 Honda Accord LX?

My 2001 Honda Accord LX has almost 140k miles on it and lately its acceleration has been bad. I recently did a tune up on it. Replaced plugs, wires, rotor and cap. But that didn't help any and driving under poor acceleration is pretty dangerous, especially trying to merge with traffic and can't really keep up with everybody. I need to know what else could be the probelm and how much its going to cost to fix it?What could be cause for poor acceleration on a 2001 Honda Accord LX?Maybe plugged fuel filter, injectors, or low fuel pressure. Could also be a plugged cat. converter. Take it to the dealership and have it scanned.. An Autozone scanner will not read anything unless your check engine light is on..What could be cause for poor acceleration on a 2001 Honda Accord LX?
Without actually driving it. It is hard to say positively. However, what you are describing sounds as though your Catalytic Converter is plugging up. The exhaust gas has no where to go, so the engine does not get the required new air/fuel charge for the next go round. A Muffler shop can check this out. Usually for under $50. Then if you agree to let them fix it, they most times drop the inspection fee. It will take them a half hour, start to finish.What could be cause for poor acceleration on a 2001 Honda Accord LX?there's too many things that it could be on that one,try having the computer scanned on it first to see if it has any trouble codes on it,this might tell you if it has a bad sensor on it or something that might be causing this to happen,without knowing whats going on with the computer in it,you could replace every part on it,and still not get it fixed have it scanned and go from there with it,good luck on it.What could be cause for poor acceleration on a 2001 Honda Accord LX?
yup, im with dodge man... have it scanned for codes, autozone does it for free here if you dont have a scanner. tell us what 'p' codes come up and we can go from there.What could be cause for poor acceleration on a 2001 Honda Accord LX?could be many things.. maybe your stuck in a higher gear (transmission problem). First I would go with the easy stuff like getting fuel system cleaners and change your fuel filter, pump, etc. If that doesn't work have a mechanic look at itWhat could be cause for poor acceleration on a 2001 Honda Accord LX?
Clogged fuel filter.
