carb's gummed up and probably several of the 'thousands' of vacuum lines are rotted and sucking air.
Fill the tank with premium gas and a can of Seafoam in there. OH, should add to the oil as well.
Is it an auto?
flush auto fluid a couple times with cheap stuff then finalize it with Honda auto fluid.
If it's a manual, put in some Amsoil 0w20 or 0w30 in the trans and be done with it.

i remember when i bought my 1984 accord it ran soo bad it had the same problems as your basicly it took me alot of times and alot of work ( didnt know about carbs at the time) its most likely a vaccum leak get a aerosol can that has a flmable liquid ( brake cleaner or carb cleaner) and spray every vaccum line if it idles better and smoother u found ur vaccum leak if nothing changes get a carb rebuild kit and completey rebuild ur carb and clean it goooood! make sure u adjust the floats properly and also check your idle control screw theres alot mroe things you can do so jsut try those first
