I have replaced the starter, battery, fuel filter, and pump and still my 87 accord will not start... it turns over but no gas is getting to the carburater... if i poor gas into carburater it will start and run long enough to burn off the gas then die... what do I do... i am out of ideas please email me with any suggestions at jsbaby122904@aol.com thanks

 

Clogged line or strainer?

 

Regardless of what model it is DX, LX LXi, there are two things which must be checked first,
1) Fuel Pump Fuse (It IS Electric Tank Mounted, Yes?)
2) Main Relay (I know where it's found on 5th Gens, but not 3rd (so you'll have to ask someone else (sorry))

Start with those first.
More than likely, it you were to check, you don't have electrical power to the pump.

as P stated since u are not getting gas u need to chk fuel pump fuse,,,,,,if fuse is ok...,,u stated u just replaced fuel pump .. make sure all work is done properly and connector is properly snapped in,,,,,,,,chk to make sure u are getting power and ground at the pump......if u are, make sure the line for the fuel filter the 1 at the tank is not kincked,,if line is ok,,,fuel pump must be bad ,,,,1 other test u can do even before u do all that.............remove fuel line going into carb, have someone crank the car ,, if no fuel ,problem most likely to pump,pump fuse , no gas in car , or filter ,,,,, chk and post results

 

when you turn the key on watch the check engine light (cel) as the cel goes off you will hear a relay click does this happen? if not you have a bad main relay very common in warm weather if it does click the proced with dh's troubleshooting! where did you get the pump at i had a customer bring an aftermarket pump in for us to put in and it was bad it took 4 pumps to get a good one! just no honda quality there mabye if you can buy a oem honda one if you alraedy din't
