I'd get the engine serviced and have the OBD codes read to help locate the issue

I just got done putting an engine in one of these. the chances are your clutch is not releasing all the way, or you have internal damage to the transmission. you can try to bleed the clutch by having a buddy pump the clutch 30 times or so and on the last pump have them hold it down so you can open the bleeder on the slave cylinder. repeat this 6 times, going 5 pumps less each time untill you reach 0. keep plenty of replacement fluid on hand to keep the clutch master cylinder full, if that don't help even a little, I'd start suspecting the transmission itself.

SOURCE: engine turns over fine , car will not start.

well the first part of your question i was all ready to tell you to put a new fuel pump in, now not so sure, there is a relay for fuel pump, can you hear pump cycle and relay click? relay under hood you will have to listen close they don't run long maybe a couple secounds, if you don't relay bad. if you do pump could be bad, do fuel pressure test pump could be weak. don't think sunroof and turn signals are related, but stranger things have happend.

SOURCE: 1999 honda accord time belt replacement after 135K miles

you know what happens if you don't.  Inspect the old one for hairline cracks and stretch and you decide.  I would also replace the drive belts and the water pump when I was in there?

SOURCE: 1999 honda odyssey-engine stalls while driving-electric is fine-

Maybe the solution
There is a recall on the ignition switch,
My 99 Ody with 120K would suddenly switch off and come back while runing, Take it to dealer and report to Honda, Since out of warranty. The dealer would do the repairs estimated at $100 charge to you.

What would caused myJeep to burn excess fuel only averaging 9 miles to a gallon.

The first thing to check is the oxygen sensors. They are supposed to be changed every 65 thousand miles or so.

My honda accord ex 91 is running exellent since i changed the ignition wires and spurk plugs. it has 107,000 miles, manual transmision. for more power and gas saving, what kind oil motor and gas should i...

With that many miles there is no point in putting synthetic oil in the engine because it will probably be too thin and cause the seals to start leaking. Keep the oil changed regularly (every 3000 miles) and use a brand name 5W-30 grade oil like Mobil1 or castrol. As far as gas goes I would put a tank of high octane gas in about once a month. You can try using high octane all the time but check your mileage per tank on the regular grade and then after you've filled you car about 4-5 times with high grade so you can see if it really is making a difference. Also check your owners manual to see if it recommends higher grade gasoline.

2005 Honda Accord 4dr 4cyl Manual is burning oil

You need to have the problems properly diagnosed

Not something you talk about or wonder what it is or
how long or how much

Work on finding the issues,then the solution.

That's a lot of oil for cylinder head issues

I would think more like a broken piston ring

You go several thousand most likely

Well being well kept up I sure you are burning oil through the valve stem seals.... and new rings too... the head kit should be around 120 to 170 bucks includes every thing from the head up.... and rings should only run you 50 bucks.... If your clutch is strong I would not worry about it.... I have two accord's with over 300,000 on them.... :)

I just replaced the O2 sensor in my 1996 Honda Accord EX and the check engine light came back on saying that the car is "running lean." What does that mean and where do I start to look on how to fix this...

If you are near a chain auto parts store, they may reset your computer free; call them.
Running 'lean' means the fuel-air mixture is not ideal and the amount of fuel being injected is less than it should be relative to the air coming in. Running rich is the opposite. A lean burn can cause excessive heat and do some damage if extreme enough. The discoloration of the spark plugs will sometimes show this condition by having deposits that are a bit too light; they should normally show a beige or light brown coating after some miles are on them.
I think the computer should somewhat compensate for a dirty air filter but it wouldn't take long to check it.

Sometimes when i press the gas pedal on my 99 accord all the way down it acts like its needs gas. What could it be?

Hi there,

For an engine to work properly, the fuel air mix must be within certain parameters. Too much fuel uses up the available air before the all the fuel is burned and causes the engine to 'stumble' (a momentary lack of power until the fuel/air ratio has been restored). Flooring the pedal can certainly cause these symptoms.

When this happens, it's lack of air, not gas that causes it. Check your air filter as a possible cause, it may need to be replaced.

1998 sunfire 2.2L (burning alot of gas)

You should take the car to an autoparts store and have them use a scan tool to retrieve the fault code(s) that are stored in the car's computer. Most parts stores will do this at no charge. That will give you an idea of issues with the car. Excessive fuel consumption can be caused by a timing issue, a compression issue, or a fault or leak in the fuel system. Getting the fault codes would be a good place to start in identifying potential causes. Hope this helps and best wishes.
