Try spraying carb cleaner inside the throat while running the motor at high idle.
Check your O2 sensor by disconnecting it to see if the problem still exists.One other thing might be an ERG valve which need replacing. Hope this helps!

Take it to Autozone. They will diagnose it for free, and they won't make you buy the parts there.

SOURCE: 2003 Honda Accord Check Engine / Maintenaice Requeried

If you brought your car to Honda for service, they probably forgot to reset the maintenance reminder. If you took it to another shop, they probably did not know how to reset it. Anyway, the reset procedure is:

Put your key in the ignition
Turn the key to the II position for a couple of seconds
Then turn the key to the off position
Now push and hold in the odometer reset button
While still holding the odometer reset button, turn the key back to the II position
Hold for I think 10 seconds or so and your maintenance reminder light should reset it self.

SOURCE: 1992 honda accord running very rough and check engine light came

If the car runs fine until it warms up, then the check engine light goes on and it all goes to hell (sputtering, dying, etc...) then it is most likely the o2 sensor. Take it to autozone and have them put it on the scanner, just be sure to bring it when the check engine light is ON.

SOURCE: 92 accord check engine light d4 flashing

This is a typical Honda problem. unfourtunatly their design on the transmissions are not the best. Most of the times when you have a flashing light on the shifter on a honda it is the beginning of an internal transmission problem, not a major one but most likley one of the solonoids in it. just for future reference to you make sure to keep your trans fluid changed on the recommend mileage because they do have an internal filter that is extremley common for plugging up and giving a no shift condition. Hope this helps. swiftautorepairs.com

SOURCE: the oil light is blinking on a 98 honda accord and

Black oil needs to be changed immediately. It's possible that even if the oil level is full, it's so thin and worn that it's tripping your Oil Light due to lack of oil pressure.

Converter/exhaust may be plugged up. Pull it off and drive the car.
A compression or leakdown test will tell you if ya have internal engine problems. Do it before and after removing the converter.

98 jeep cherokee sport flashing engine light

The check engine light is because all check engine light codes are caused by components that affect emissions. It's not actually an engine problem, it's a problem with either your O2 sensor, MAF sensor, fuel/air ratio, pyrometer, or exhaust.

Honda accord ex 2001 check engine light suddenly came on, car started to idle roughly

If it's running rough, chances are that it's misfiring. If the Check Engine light is flashing/blinking, it is definitely misfiring.
If that's the case, drive it as little as possible... Or straight to the mechanic because the more you drive it while it's misfiring, the higher the chance is of you ruining your catalytic converter.

I took a plug wire off my 98 Honda Accord. When I put it back on, the engine ran rough, miss's and is hard to start. I bought a new wire, still having the same problem.

CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE WIRES ARE ON CORRECTLY, IF NOT, THEY CAN CAUSE A MISFIRE PROBLEM THAT WILL MAKE YOUR ENGINE RUN ROUGH!
