Default Re: Fuel pump in '88 Honda Accord LX 5spd.

I'll check the tach today on the way to work. I have just gotten off of
night shift,once again I had to put the mallet to the gas tank to get it to
crank. It has been being hard to start when I work the night shift. I don't
know if it's because it's a lot cooler in the A.M. or what. When I first get
in it it fires right up but shuts off immediately but usually after about
three tries it will start, but not this morning.
