Icon6 what is the problem?


I have an 03 accord 4cyl. I just recently had my batt, alt, and starter tested and they are all good. I start my car most mornings with a jump starter box and it fires up just fine. I was told that my fuel pump is going bad. Can anyone give me some advice?

If you use a jump starter to start your car it doesnt make sense that its the fuel pump. After its started how does it feel driving? Check engine light on?

I agree, I'm confused about the whole situation. After I take the cables off it runs just fine, and the check engine light is not on. I was told to change the fuel filter but my car doesn't have a fuel filter. This guy at auto zone said it could be the relay switch, but he was leaning more towards the fuel pump.

I don't know what your problem is, but the "Autozone guy" doesn't either. What does the car do, if you try to start it without the jumper? Does it turn over at all? Do the lights work OK? Does it turn the engine over fine, but not fire up? We need more information here.
