Re: Darn Accord
It is probably the fuel pump, or possibly the fuel pressure regulator or the injectors. If it was me I would start by putting some fuel cleaner in it for a tank or two and running it at highways speed a couple of hours. That would clean gunk out of the fuel pump and the fuel injectors if that is the problem. If it persisted, I would borrow/obtain loan of a fuel pressure tester from a place like AutoZone and check the fuel pressure. If the fuel pressure is low at that point, it is probably the fuel pump. If the pressure is good but the problem persists I would pay someone to pressure clean the fuel injectors. Scotty kilmer has youtube videos on "how to clean fuel injectors in your car" and "how to tell if your fuel pump is bad" They can probably tell you what the right fuel pressure is for your car at AutoZone, but if not, you can probably find it on line by googling it. If you want the fastest, most-accurate information on your car you can subscribe to alldatadiy.com for about $30 per year and get all of the factory level maintenance and repair information.
