Default Not Running Like a Honda, got suggestions.

Hey guys,

I finally got my 92 cx (project) into my dads bodyshop today after a few problems. When I first go to turn the car over nothing. Then i pause for a few seconds and try it again then she starts up. When i go to give it some gas theres a delay from the time a hit the gas untill i get a responce. Not a long one but just the same theres one there.(sorry no pic there in my digital camera and havent had time to post) These are my theory's

1. The car has a bad alternator in the first place and thats the source.

2. Bad Plugs, and Wires.

3. Needs new distributor cap.

4. The stupid Sparco fuel door thats on it (came on the car) isnt provideing a tight seal.

If anyone has as experience with the problem please let me know what you did to correct it. Im going to change all of these before summer hits, but if anyone has an idea of the primary source that would be great. Thanks guys later.

first i would rule the fuel door out.

not starting on first try? what was it doing exactly? clicking trying to turn?

what i would do first is change the fuel filter... and make sure the fuel pump is coming on strong when you turn the key foward before cranking it.

from what your saying i wwould definatley change out the fuel filter.

is it also reving slow? and seeming like a loss in HP?
