I have 97 LX, F22B2, the car is hard to start, almost sounds like it wont catch, then when it does, it stays idling just fine, until i put the car into gear, then it dies out pretty violently when the clutch becomes even remotely engaged. I also tried just revving the car slightly while stationary, and if I rev softly it hesitates and then goes, if I blip the throttle with my foot, it cuts instantly.

Anyone got suggestions?

 

have you done a tune up? Sounds like the issue I had, fuel filter maybe or even fuel pump.

 

Left the car overnight, started up and drove finest kind today, no probs at all. Any suggestions on to what it might be in case it happens again?

EDIT** Just delgado post, the last tune up she had was at 165k (kms) now its at 211,111 kms. Not sure on the whole span between tune ups.....

 

Sounds like a fuel pump

 

so there hasn't been any problems since that day, have driven the car 400kms, without a hitch.............

could it have been some sorta computer issue?

 

My H22 94 Accord did that after I got done doing a clutch job. It would kill on me if I put it in gear even with the clutch pedal down to the floor. Weird to me, but I had it towed to get it inspected and found nothing.

My guess for my problem would be that the input shaft had pressured onto the clutch disc which made it hard to spin which then kills on me whenever I have it gear.
