Fuel pump, filter, or line?
 

My 93 civic EX has been acting up lately.
It normally runs fine, but every once in a while, it refuses to take off, and no matter how much gas you give it, it acts like it has gotten no gas and dies. Also when driving on the interstate/highway, at a semi-regular interval (~ 1 min) it will make a kind of hissing noise and my RPMS drop slightly, but then it goes back to running normal again.

Do you know what the problem is?

hmm timing, could be fuel related. but when was the last time you changed the filter?

That's what I thought it was... I just bought the car a month or 2 ago, so I thought it might be due for a fuel filter change...

might as well do a full tune up while you're at it

yeah start with the cheap stuff...that fuel filter we have it for like 8 bucks at the AutoZone.. aloso maybe a fuel treatment ?

I would love to do a lot of things to my car... But it looks like the fuel filter maybe the only thing I can afford. Damn college....

you know you could always say it was a bad fuel pump and use it as an excuse to upgrade.

Thanks for all the help! I replaced the fuel filter... and while I was at it, the air filter. After looking at the air filter I think it may have been a bit of both. All better now!

I don't mean to thread jack, but it looks like you got to the root of your problem so I am not as concerned. https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

My question is how much good do fuel treatments do? Also, if it is worth the money what treatmetns are good?

Thanks...
