Hello There everybody my name is Raul,and before i ask for you help, let me apologize for my bad English.
I'll have a 1997 accord 4 door with the f22b engine, 4 speed auto, and 176340 mill on it.
A few weeks back I'll was driving back from my son school when my car suddenly stop working , i move to the side of the street with the same inertia, put the transmission on parking turn the switch on and it work like always do,at the first try, no CHECK ENGINE lights come on, no nothing, drove it for a week or so and then again did the same thing, this time I didn't move to the side or nothing with the same inertia just put it on neutral crank the engine and work again ,no problems no CHECK ENGINE lights or anything just stop working(like we said in Spanish "Se Murio"), all this happened in the morning, again drove for a week, week & a half no problems, no lights, no nothing, then when I coming from my work around 2:00 a.m stop again no rough hesitation, or bad idle, crank the engine again and this time took like 3-4 times to start , drove for like a mile and stop again, and again 3-4 times and start drove for another 2 miles and stop this time I did felt a little pulling,
try to star the engine and nothing give it like 10-15 try and didn't start, I stop and let it stay for a little while (like 12-15 min. or so )give another try and start drive the rest of the road (about 7 miles)with no problem, next morning turn the car on and work for like 6-8 minutes and then stop, crank the engine again and the car start, no problems let it run for 20 min. no problem, stop the car and start it again no problem(every time I start the engine I can hear the humming noise from the pump)I took it to a mechanic"friend of mine"and he said that for the symptoms was the IGNITION COIL,replace the IGNITION COIL and nothing, still the same symptoms,I go ahead and replace the fuel pump, strainer and fuel filter, start the engine work fine drove like a 1 1-1/2 mil. and the car star to pull and hesitate, like if a have a carburetor on it, and I star to smell gasoline, check the engine and what I saw was gasoline dripping from the EVAP CANISTER, drove back home really stop like 5 times all the time dripping gas from the canister, take out the new pump install again the old one and work ,no dripping or nothing.Still trying to figure it out what can it be
Thank You to all of you for your patience , and hope some one can help and get the car back to the road

 

Hey Raul ignition can be frustrating to diagnose. When you try to start the car and it does not start does the tachometer move at all? If not it may be the 'igniter' is going bad. What happens is it may become heat soaked and the electrical circuit inside opens which then kills the spark and the car dies.

Hope that helps!

But it may check out fine if it is cold, you will have to check it when the car is not starting.

 

id say main relay or ignitor if there's no codes.
