Just bought a 1996 2.7L V6 Honda Accord 2 weeks ago, when I got it it would not crank or start. Since then I have replaced the fuel pump (used), the main relay, most of the interior fuses, the battery and connectors, the fuel filter, and the plugs and wires. Now it cranks and fires up but it idles really rough then dies, dies immediately with any throttle input. Timing seems good, but im not sure because i have not owned a V6 honda before just 4 cylinder hondas. It starts everytime now but just runs rough then dies. Ive gotten so many different answers - timing, bad fuel pump, blown gead gaskets, IAC, TB, vaccum leaks. I just need to get to the bottom of it, cant afford to just throw parts at it

 

no one can answer that with any Clarity. You need to go to a company mechanic and get a diagnosis, and then see if you had the mechanical inclination & tools to repair this car yourself.

I move this to the V6 Accord Forum. It does not belong in this form
