Hey guys,

I recently got a 1994 Accord LX 4 door, 4 cyl. Great car, but it has a problem with stalling. Sometimes I'll drive it a bit, stop somewhere, and it won't want to start back up! When I hit the key it might sputter up a bit (hits like 10 times) then it'll die out. It's worth mentioning that it never dies while it's being driven - once it's going, it'll work.

I'm not familiar with Accords yet, so I was wondering if this is a common problem with these cars? Right now I'm thinking it's fuel pump is flakey; but I've never known a fuel pump to "sorta" work. (They work or not - never seen one inbetween..)

Thanks a bunch,

Nick

 

a common problem is the main relay...only when its hot usually...but i dont think your car will sputter if its the main relay...atleast i wouldnt think it would. do a search for the main relay anyway.... have you checked the fuel filter?

 

hmm... fuel filter is worth looking into. Is there any way to check the main relay?

Thanks!

 

do a search...i think theres a thread on checking it...but basically youll be checking voltages

 

I did a bit of research, and I'll bet that that's the problem. Symptoms pretty much matched what's the car's doing exactly.

Thanks a bunch!

good luck, and i hope that was your problem...your new here so just remember to do a search before you ask a general question like that...also....remember to search the archived content
