Default not a bike problem, but a inline 4 prob.

my sister got her first car ever a couple years ago(1986 honda accord). back then, it ran great, now, it has a sputter and a small backfire noise when she sticks the gas on. its not just a spuitter as much as like she is hitting brake and gas one after eachother until she hits about 3500 rpms. my father and i think it might be her fuel pump or something to do with fuel. can anyone help identify this problem, its kind of dangerous cause it happens whenever she hits the gas, and its getting worse.
