Default Start-up Problem

Have a 94 integra

I've been having problem starting the car, I can typically start the car up for the first time without problems then if I were to park and turn the engine off for a while and then when I'll be starting it again, it would start but would die right after. I tried pumping the gas right after I turn the engine on, the engine would react everytime I pump the gas but sometimes after I release the pedal it would die again. Other times, I would be able to start the engine up by pumping the gas.

Is the problem with the spark plugs? Or something else? or is my fuel line clogged up?

It's a manual tranny.

Hope you guys could help me.

I am having some similar issues. It happens very consistantly now. But I have figured out a way to get it to start and maybe this info will give some one a hint to what the problem is. So I was leaving work, started the car and it died as i put it in reverse. I cranked and cranked hoping to get something. I replaced the main relay about 2 months ago, I was getting spark and I could hear my fuel pump power up. The back seat is out of the car at the moment so I have easy access to the fuel pump. I had run out of options so i figured i should do a fail safe test on the fuel pump to make sure it is working. I unpluged the wiring harness on the outer top of the fuel tank. It started up, but of course died as it ran out of gas. So I hooked the harness back up and let fuel system pressure up, un plugged the harness and the started the engine, then plugged the harness back in before it had a chance to die. The problem is not fixed by any means, but I think it being narrowed down to a fuel delivery issue or maybe 02 sensor. Any help?

Yeah, it is in the fuel delivery system, my friend and I cleaned the injectors and now the car is starting up good.

I'll be having my car checked before snow hits, do you think this is also connected to the ignition system?

I think its dumping fuel somehow and is giving the 02 sensor a false reading.
