what do you mean by this?

my car starts. sometimes if i let the fuel pump prime but turn the key before it stops and the check engine light goes off it doesn't start, sometimes if i stick the key in and turn it all the way immediatly it doesn't start, but most times it does.

sometimes when i start my car it revs up all the way and slowly drops to 750 while it warms, sometimes when i start my car it drops to 500 and raises to 750.

when im driving and i push in the clutch long enough to make my rpms drop to idle, ie stopping, it drops below 750 rpms, as if it is going to die, a couple of times it drop low enough to make the battery light flicker and almost die, it has dropped and died only once on me, but most of the time it idles correctly.

also, this has made me think my tranny was going out but it has only happened when my car is about to hit or on e (i never let my car run out of gas ) when im driving fast in high rpms it will, i guess u would say bogging out? the rpms drop and i loose power. the first day it happened i started driving it at 2000rpms max, filled the tank up and let it sit for the night, the next couple of days it drove fine, even in higher rpms, but once again when my tank was on e it started doing it again, it even did it to me going up a hill in lower rpms down the street from the station i fill up at.

 

When was the last time you changed your fuel filter

 

i've had the car since march 2nd, i havent replaced the fuel filter among the many other things that i have, should i start w/ that?

 

might be a good idea, it could be your main relay as well.

 

today while delivering, i took me 2 or 3 tries to start my car 35percent of the fimes i had to start my car,

also, another one of my fuel problems is the gas doesn't get up to full, if i empty the tank most of the way it reaches full but is still barely on it.

 

theres another post i read the says honda fuel filters often never go bad, could the be a problem with the fuel pump? or do you think it would be the main relay if not the filter?
