Fuel injectors may become dirty over time and not be able to provide as much fuel to the cylinder as is needed. Dirty fuel injectors may cause the engine to run lean which will in turn, cause hesitation when accelerating.
Why does my Honda Accord not speed up?

Why does my Honda Accord battery keep draining?
This is what motoring experts call parasitic battery drain. The drain can be caused by lights remaining on, stuck relays, control modules not switching off, or other mechanical faults that drain the Honda Accord’s battery power. Tracing the source of these drains through your Honda Accord’s power receptacles helps isolate the source of the drain.
How can I tell if my Honda Accord has a faulty alternator?
If its faulty, the engine loses power. If you start your Honda Accord and all you hear is a click, it could be the alternator (or the battery is dead). Test a faulty alternator by conducting the headlight test. This test requires one person to press down on the accelerator with the car in park mode, and the other observes the headlights.
