Default 92 Accord 4cyl- no start issue

92 Accord sedan, PFI four banger 5 speed. Just short of 250k miles.

Ran ok a few weeks ago, fine when cold but seemed to run rich when warm as well as a off-idle stumble/hesitation if you got on it. It runs fine higer up in the revs.

Tried starting it yesterday and it cranks fine and only an occasional exhaust backfire. So it must be getting fuel, right?

What parts/sensors control the fueling on this old PGM-FI car, as I think its a fuel issue more so than a ignition issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

Do you drive the car a lot? My Accord is sensitive to gas being in the tank a long time. Acts up especially when the old gas gets low in the tank. If your running problem ties in with tank being below ¼ full, try Seafoam and a full tank of gas on top of it.

It saw DD duty, then when it started running funny it was parked (for about a month).
