I have a simular problem with my 98 honda accord coupe it only starts when it wants to i dont always hear the fuel pump priming and sometime it will start then act like its running out of gas making a sputtering noice before it stalls out it does that a few times then starts and then sometimes it wont even start. What could be my problem i have people look at it but when they do it starts and makes me look like a retard.

 

flakey fuel pump or pressure regulator

 

It's probably not the fuel pump, but the Main Relay. They go out all the time, but it's an easy fix. What do you drive?

 

 

2x a main relay... There easy to fix...

 

Woops. *Facepalm*
