check the pgm-fi sensor by the main relay under the dash..

prime the fuel pump like 5-6 times before starting when it gives you the problem,if it helps,your fuel pump is probably weakening..

thanks and i appreciate that!take your relay out and open it up.look around at the solder points and if there are little rings in the solder,then the relay has suffered from overheating and will continue to give problems as the temperature in the car changes..

The PGM-FI Main Relay is a common problem on older Honda/Acura but almost always an easy fix... http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelay.html I have done this repair on 20+ Honda/Acura, including my 94

It is harder and takes longer to get the PGM-FI Main Relay out of the car, [easier on a G2 then a G3] then it is to fix it.

JuicedUpRice what the hell is a "pgm-fi sensor"??? 94
