Honda Repair: 1987 HONDA ACCORD EXI ACCELERATION, honda dealership, trans repair

Question
Hello Bill!
I'm not sure if you can help me on this but its worth a shot. I own a 1987 accord exi, auto trans, 193,000kms. Here are my problems:
The car starts and runs great usually....BUT sometimes (intermittant) when I acclerate and reach 20-40 km or 60-80km my gas pedal becomes very stiff and hard to press. The car will not accelerate and it will stay at that speed until it decides it wants to go. If i force the pedal down with all my foot strength sometimes it will finally give and the RPMS go to 4 thou or so because of the amount of fuel its getting from forcing the pedal down and then it kicks in and goes! When it gets stuck at 20 km or 60 kms it doesn't do anything, the rmps stay the same and the car doesn't go any faster. Its almost like its not getting fuel then all of a sudden it gets more than enough and givers. Ive taken it to a honda dealership, $100 dollars later, they say its the throttle valve sticking in the transmission ( i don't buy that!) Maybe i'm wrong but if it were the tranny, wouldn't it rev high and not go anywhere? After my visit to honda, I took it to a auto trans shop, the mechanic there was able to duplicate my problem and says that he doesn't believe it is that valve or anything to do with the trans. Now when I speed going 100km+ my PRG-FI (fuel injection) warning light comes on. The car doesn't drive any differently when the light comes on and when i turn the car off, the light goes out and doesn't come back on unless It feels like it at high speeds. I was told to disconnect the ground wire on the battery to clear the code for that fuel injection warning light and then if it doesnt come back on then ive fixed the problem and if it does then to take it in to honda to read the codes. Do u think that these 2 problems may be related? I mean i dont wanna keep spending $$$ on mis-diagnosis from different techs and I surely dont want a trans repair expense if its not the tranny!!! Another tech suspects it has some thing to do with the choke? Do I even have a choke if its fuel injected? Is this possible. One more diagnosis was the throttle cable siezing/sticking..would that cause my gas pedal problem? I personally think its a fuel problem.. I dunno!! Does any of this make sense to you? Bill, Thank you for listening!!!HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Answer
Mona:
I would have to say it does sound like the throttle is binding and since Honda looked at it I would say they found where it is sticking. The throttle valve is part of the transmission and I would not say that it would just rev and not go; there can be several different problems in the transmission so you can't generalize a transmission problem. I would also say that these problems are related or at least you need to have the throttle valve fixed and move to the next problem. I would not want to spend money on a mechanics guess either so make sure when you have it repaired, you test drive it and if it is not fixed, get the service manager to ride with you and make sure they experience the problem. I would get an estimate, which you may already have, and think long and hard about spending a lot of money on a car that is almost 19 years old.
Hope this helps. Let me know how it turns out.
Bill
