Use the key. If the key doesn't work, lower the rear seat to gain access to the trunk, there you can activate the lock mechanism with a screwdriver or trunk release if it has one.
Hello, There is a fuel cutoff switch in the drivers side of the trunk. It is referred to as the Inertia sensor. It will detect an impact and disconnect the power to the fuelpump.
If you look at the drivers side of the carpeted trunk there will be a slot in the carpet or a hole. All you need to do is push on the switch button and the system will reset. If you have air ride the Inertia switch is next to it.
Alot of these forgein cars do have a door under the rear seat, its an access door but on your 1996 acura the gas tank must be removed to replace the fuelpump,
u have to remove the panel that has the door handle in it, remove the panel which has the window and the seat adjusters, unplug the wires and just lift the door panel and there u are.
