hey guys....

i have a automatic 94 accord that seems to be giving me problems after problems. I just recently replaced the starter and alternator because it finally crapped out on me..NOW i got a new problem that just started last night...

I went to start the car and it had a hard time like the battery was dead, but finally started after about 5 times.

Today, I went out to start the car and it started with no problems, but after getting the car started it idles for about all of thirty seconds and eventually the idle drops and the car starts bogging and dies out!!! I tried to start the car five times and all five times the car would start up but eventually bog out and die!!!

The fuel pump comes on when you turn the ignition on and the car starts fine today but just eventually dies out. I was told it could be the fuel pump, but is it possible even though i hear the fuel pump and the car starts???

I NEED SOME HELP!!!!

vtec or non vtec engine? we need some more info from you to help you, fuel pressure is the biggest thing, you can rent a gauge from any auto zone next is the ignition system, next is the map sensor, then the idle air control valve (iacv) look up how to do a ecu test see if the computer has set a code or dtc.... then get back to us.

^Truth. Just because the fuel pump is running doesn't mean it's running well. Fuel pressure should be around 40 psi.

^That's true, too. Just because the fuel pump is priming doesn't mean the main relay isn't having trouble. That happened once in a Civic I worked on.
