I have a "skip" in my '88 Handa Accord LX 5spd. I have replaced plugs,plug
wires,fuel filters.Just yesterday I replaced coil,distributor cap,and rotor
button. When all was done,car would'nt start.I spray stater fluid down
carb.,car fires up and shuts off. I'm thinking I blew the fuse or cut out
relay on the fuel pump. Checked fuse, it was good, replace Fuel pump cut out
relay, still no fuel getting to carb.
So a freind of mine has told me if your fuel pump is bad you can knock
on the gas tank with a mallet and get the pump to pump again. I did that and
the car fires right up.
Why would changing the coil and distibutor components cause my fuel pump to
quit? The car was running fine,except for the skip, before. And I still have
the skip.Could that be the fuel pump not pumping correctly?
The skip starts after the car has warmed up to normal operating temp.
Any ideas would be very helpful.
