accord issues.need some help.
 

my sister has a 1990 accord, she told me that her car was not running good (bucking) also the gauges were going erratic. i was not with her so i don't know the details and i usually only work on jeeps, but if any could give me some advice or a general direction to go in it would be greatly appreciated.thanks.

welcome to the forum. Check the spark plugs condition, plug wires for leaks or breaks, distributor for cleaness, compression check, air filter, standard tune up items.

time for a new H22A engine
 

I think all of the gaskets are blown there is oil on the spark plugs, in the air intake, all over the side of the engine and barely on the dipstick.

If your sister intends to keep the car, start with the easiest and least cost problem to start with. and work your way through the car to fix it. If she intends to trade it in, do it soon, the 4500 trade in for new car is coming to a close soon.
