1988 Honda Accord lxi has issues starting. Ignition, engine, starter, and most everything seems okay. Have not checked o2 sensors and getting new plugs after cleaning old ones and reinstalling them. They have almost had it. The worst enemy seems to be the midday heat. At night or in the morning, the car usually cranks with not much of a problem. It runs well. I have done just about every ignition position and tap on gas pedal/not gas pedal tapping. Many different combinations of scenarios when starting have been used and I cannot specifically determine that any of them are more effective than another to use as a constant, reliable method of approach. I have a new fuel pump, 2 new fuel filters, a new exhaust system. Since this problem began a few weeks ago, my alternator seems to have quit, but sometimes works again randomly as the battery light in the dash will go off, sometimes only when I press the accelerator.
