Do you have cruise control on your model ?Originally posted by aleks1215 View PostJesus drove a Honda, he just didnt talk about it like us. Proof - John 12:49 "For i did not speak of my own accord."

This sounds similar to a problem I had in the past.
For me, my throttle cable was too tight. It should have 10 mm of play.
Check and make sure your's is within spec.
Then, check for any vacuum leaks.MRT
37.5 MPG, AC on, cruising at 80.
30.0 MPG, AC on, aggressively driving around 90.
27.5 MPG, no AC, cruising at 90 with occasional gridlock. 40 degrees Fahrenheit

The car should not accelerate when in neutral. If it did you have transmission issues.
The engine can rev higher, but you should not accelerate in neutral.
Lets us know if you meant something else.

aleks1215, please give us a little more information on the problem.
Was it a slow acceleration, or a 6k run-till-she-blows type thing?
My wife's LX would cruise by its self around 30-35. It turned out to be a vacuum line coupled with dirty IACV that was making it idle at 2000.
How is your idle? Any previous problems/ known existing problems?'91 EX 280,000 || '90 LX 330,000

But the car was still accelerating until it turned off by itself. Shouldn't do that in neutral, sounds like something was still engaged to me...Comment

I just had install an alarm system with the auto starter.
I was at the highway, and i was going to pass an old lady and i accelerate all the way, but the car didnt stop when i stop accelerating, when i put it in neutral the idle when all the way to seven or eight. I was trying to stop the car with both breaks, i couldnt turn it off right away because i had started it with self started so the key wasnt working so once i got it to stop i couldnt turn it off. I thought the car was going to blow up since i just put it in parking but the idle was on seven or eight, but the car shut off automatictly.Comment

Check your throttle cable, maybe even pop off the intake pipe and look at the metal plate inside the throttle body. It should stay closed via a spring mechanism until opened by the throttle cable.Comment

It is possible, thats why I suggested he remove the intake pipe and look at the throttle-body plate, its also possible the spring loading mechanism to keep it shut failed too. If in fact his throttlebody has failed, I would suggest if he already hasn't to do an h22/h23 plenum & tb swap, provided the engine underneath the hood is the one that came with it from the factory.
