So this thread is actually for my 90 Accord, but i like DSM guys a lot more than Honda Tuners(had bad experiences) so i'm posting here!

I went to go start my car today and the starter engages and the engine cranks but it wont start...I was able to push start it with the help of my roommate but then it wouldn't start via key again. I tried push starting it once more and it wouldn't that time. It would almost catch then die out. I'm thinking it has something to do with my fuel pump? However when i was driving last night it was running fine, would accelerate just fine....thoughts?

Thanks
 
Well you know fuel pumps can be funky when it comes to when they die out.. sometimes they will just croak and sometimes like an exp i had with one on a 92 accord, it would work fine for a day or so then wouldnt work for a few days till i finally changed the pump. take the access plate to the fuel pump off and have someone listen when you turn the key to the on position and see if you can hear the pump turn on. but check simple and cheap fix first. switch the ac relay or window relay with the fuel pump relay and see if you still have the same problems.
