My 1993 honda accord will continuously hesitate to respond to gasoline around 60 MPH or at 1500 or 2500 rpms, this is listed in technical service bulletin: 603961. This problem happens every day. The car will also stall out at slow speeds or idle. No mechanic has been able to successfully diagnose this problem. I took my car into the dealer to address this problem and they literally laughed at me when I asked if they could fix it for free. This is absurd since this problem affects my safety.
