the car starts then dies immediately, and it wont stay running. i need HELP. please reply

its gettin spark AND fuel. but it wont stay running. it starts fine. it jus doesnt STAY running. could it be the ignitor module?

 

try releasing the key out of the crank position slowly.
This is a common symptom of an ignition switch going bad. Sometimes you can hold the key in just the right place to be able to drive the car into your stall.

 

no, it is actually a PROBLEM with the car. ive had several different people look at it, try to fix it. and we cant come up with a actually solution. we changed all the spark plugs, weve tried to jump start it and it worked for a day, then the rpms and speed controls went all crazy, so there is something else wrong.

 

If you have spark, why change the plugs? Sounds like ignition switch to me. Don't know if the VSS(speed sensor) would cause these symptoms. Here's a link to some troubleshooting. Good luck

OKAY; you Win

 

maybe its your main fuel relay, there a common problem with those accords, they go very easily.

 

how much for the 1990 accord TCU???????????????

 

If it's not the electrical part of the ignition switch, which it sounds like it is, then check out the two idle control air valves, starting with the cold idle thermo valve.
