    Have valves adjusted. Hopefully, you have changed your oil regularly and don't have premature valve or cam wear. You may also need to retard your timing slightly. Mark the distributor housing and mounting flange with a straight edge and marker. Loosen the 3 distributor mounting bolts and rotate the distributor 1/4" counter-clockwise. Then, retighten the mounting bolts and see if that improves the situation. Many Hondas end up needing their timing slightly retarded from specs.
