i need help.. im not sure what my problem was so i don't know what to search for.


but here's my problem.. (i only experienced this during these hot summer days) when i start my car.. it will die right away.. but if i give it a little gas it will start but run rough for like maybe 3-5 secs? im sure it's not the MAIN RELAY cause it was replaced just like 2-4months ago.. i dunno..


any help is gladly appreciated.. thanks!


btw, my car is an 88 honda hb STD. just for those who may ask..

 

on the next hot day try unscrewing the gas cap and releive the pressure in the tank before starting the car. Maybe the gas vapors are too high in the tank. (it has happend to me)

 

^^^

alright man.. i will try that hopefully it will work... thanks for the quick reply..


any other suggestions if the 1st one fails. lol

only thing i can think of is the Fuel pressure regulator. Maybe its not holding the fuel pressure over night?
i dont know how the heat could cause that, but its just a long shot.

 

1st suggestion failed.


hmmm... i will check the fuel pressure regulator tommorrow... any other hints?

igniter maybe? or distributor, bad spark plugs? bad sparkplug wire? fuel pump?


anyone who experienced this kind of problem before and fixed it.. pls help!
