Re: 96 ACCORD CODE multiple misfire
Was it a shop or Autozone that pulled the codes? Most likely a tune up related issue, but it could go deeper.How many miles on the car and what is it's maintenance history?

FYI, i was told autozone could no longer pull codes for people (in this area, 757) because they would direct people what to buy and they would often be wrong.

Distributor or coil packs? Bad or faulty ecu? those are my guesses other than like stated,a regular tune up.

New Wires? Any moisture in spark plug tubes? Did this happen after putting on new cap/rotor?
If those all check out, sounds like your igniter/module in the distributor may be going poop.

Re: 96 ACCORD CODE multiple misfire
Under load is more of an indicator that it is in the tune. Check for bad plugs, wires, cap rotor. Visually inspect them. Also check for oil down in the spark plug valleys.
