i would start by popping out the O2 sensor closest to the engine to see if your have an exhaust restriction like a clogged catalytic converter. a clogged cat will rob you of a lot of power causing poor acceleration.

Starting with any check engine lights you have is a great start but the first thing that came to my mind was timing, not ignition timing so much as mechanical timing.

Manual or automatic?

Make sure the e-brake isnt on or that the brakes arent hanging up either

My 1990 accord was doing that. It ended up being a loose connection to the torque converter lock up soloniod. If its an automatic, try doing what Eric did in one of his last vids an shift through the gears manually.
