car dies in 2nd gear, has hard time starting up
i'm pretty much a newb at cars but right now im driving a 87 integra to work and back. the other day up the hill i shifted into 2nd and the car died on me. i back it down to the bottom of the hill and kept trying to start it. about 10 mins later it finally started and i drove it to the gas station, checked oil, etc. tried to start it and it wouldn't start.. girl gave me a ride home. later that night we picked it up but it had a hard time starting. it started, but it would rumble (like it wasn't getting enough fuel). i was thinking it may be the fuel pump.
the next day i drove it to les schwab and it died when i shifted into 2nd after about 5 minutes again. i pulled over, tried starting it and it took a few minutes but it worked. i put fuel cleaner in it and bought a fuel filter which i havent replaced yet. i think it may be the distributor but i have no clue.. i can hear the fuel pump when i turn the key but it only starts occasionally. rpm's seem to drop as well.. any clues? thanks in advance
