    I have a 1990 honda accord with a 2.2 motor with a auto trans. The car starts fine, but when I put my foot on the brake the tech jumps all over the place and the motor starts to run ruff... help please
    Thanks

    Sounds like an idling concern;possible sensor failure.. tps, map, etc. when's the last time you replaced plugs and wires? Does the check engine light come on??

    It would be a good idea to replace the coil and rotor, while you have the distributor open. Here's how to do the job yourself:

    Could be a vacuum leak in the power brake booster. Have that checked out.
