Hi everyone, first off let me start by saying hello and this forum has been really helpful in helping me diagnose most of my cars problems. However this problem has pushed me to my wits end. The symtoms are, not wanting to crank in the mornings or the evenings after a long sit, i can spin it over for a while and it will eventually crank but run poorly at a low rpm for a few seconds then will "catch up" and run smooth. I can immediately cut the car off and the start it again with no problem. I have changed the module,coil,main relay,plugs,cap,rotor button and wires none of which helped the problem at all. so i thought that maybe it was a fuel issue since the car does seem to be running a little rich and if u listen at the exhaust pipe u can hear a miss. Today when i got home from work after the car had been sitting for about 10 hours, i pulled out the plugs and each one was dripping with gas and the gas smelled very old. I know the gas is only about a week old if that. I am at a loss, i dont know what else to do, i guess a fuel pressure test is in order and im trying to get a fuel pressure gauge now. sorry for such a long post and thanks in advance for all the help

 

check your timing because it sounds like your timing belt might just slip a knot or it just needed to be adjusted or I could be wrong it wouldn't hurt to check before you go in to bigger things.

 

I checked my timing after i changed the module and coil. The timing was right at 15 degrees advanced

 

Cleaned your IAC lately?Its real easy screen gets clogged.

Is it hit all of us the same time...?
I think most of us here are with da same prob...!!!
I have a 91 accord DX and i am having the exact same problem. Seems to be that the car has a mind of its own, which irritates me because it won't start at the most inconvienient times. I'm at my witts end with the thing and dying to know the reason it does this. Please Please Please, let me know if you ever figure out what yours is doing because most likely its the same thing thats wrong with mine.
