Check to see if you hear buzzing from the tank when you turn the ignition to on position. If you hear nothing, pull your rear seat cushion out and check your fuel pump. Main relay under the dash is also a common problem (grey box with burgundy 6pin connecto I believe). Try smacking both pump and relay and trying to start the car. Also check to make sure you out the spark plug wires back in the same spot.

Mass air flow sensor ,maybe ! Having someone with diagnostic skill's reading engine sensor data would probably be your best bet.

SOURCE: 93 honda accord fuel pump??

Check the distributor by letting the car run and tug on the wiring and see if the car acts up. Under the thermostat housing is a wiring harness, I've seen coolant drip on the connector of the O2 sensor and cause this problem too. The main relay is the switch you're referring to. It's located under the dash of the driver's side to the left. I've definitely seen these go bad. Use a test light on the hot wire to the fuel pump. Have an assistant turn the key in the "on" position and see if you have power there. Let me know what you found out so I can hopefully give you more things to check out. Send me emails to [email protected].

Have the fuel pump checked for fuel pressure. Sounds like you got residual pressure but not sufficient running pressure.

The carb throat needs to be cleaned. You can pay chev $400 or do it yourself for under $10. Just get a can of cleaning solvent at the parts house and follow the directions on the can.

SOURCE: 1994 Honda civic acts like not getting gas overnight sitting.

i think the common "ask a mech" is why most folks use fixya....$$$$$$....and hell yes they will charge u ....take advantage of u and i have a trust issue .....what i do first is check to see if u r getting fuel loosen the gas line in the motor place a towel underneath and get some one to turn the car over....if its comnig out good...u r getting proper fuel if it is spitting or very slow start with replacing fuel filter or just check it ....if u can blow through it without forcing hard its okay..if you have to blow very hard and don't feel air from other side its stopped up....now...if its getting gas and filter is good...make sure u r getting good spark...take #1 spark plug off from the plug only and get a wood or rubber handle screw driver and stick in plug wire hole then get someone to turn car over...if u see a spark then u r getting spark...if not ....well... it could be coil wire...plug wires....bad coil pack etc....start with these tasks first and THEN seek a mech...at least u can tell him/her its getting fuel...its getting spark..and the mech will realize u know something and may be less likely to take advantage of u! Good luck!

Car will turn over but acts like getting any fuel. Fuel filter just changed about 10 months ago. Has had tune up. Has full tank of gas.

I would have the fuel filter changed again, just in case sediment from the tank is blocking fuel through the filter, and check the fuel pump. They put them in the gas tank now and they do go bad. If you jack up the back end where the gas tank is, pehaps you will have enough gravity feed to present enough fuel to the injectors to start the car. That will tell you if the fuel pump is bad.

My 91 accord starts up fine but after 6 sec. it shuts off, i start it back up fine and again it shuts off. after i hold my foot on the gas and it warms then up it seems to idle fine, can anyone help me?

It will be the fuel pump and fuel sock inside the fuel tank, the mechanic could have removed the hose from the fuel regulator and gave it full fuel, but due to Ethyl introduced into gas in 89 your fuel pump an sock and filter will plug they all have to be replaced. Also yo will need to replace the injector as the eternal wears out the injectors as well.

Acting like it is running out of gas

have you tried to use an additive to your gas that cleans the injectors and carburetor? "Berrymans" fuel cleaner is the best out there.

97 honda civic wont start.

If the car has over 100,000 miles on it, you may need to replace the distributer. I don't think the bad gas caused this issue I think it may just be a coincdence. But if you already changed the plugs, wires, distributor cap, and rotor, I would definetly check the distributor.
