Did you try to match up a new filter (that you presumably purchased) to what you
see on the firewall?

Colors might not match, but shapes and **especially fittings** should be pretty
dead on.

Here's a parts site drawing of a 91 Accord, 4 door LX manual transmission fuel
filter and lines. Note that Item 4 is the fuel filter. Note item 6, the strap
that goes around the filter to hold it in place.

I am doubtful that any electrical connections attach to your Accord's fuel
filter. I could be wrong, but none attach to mine, and I don't remember seeing
anyone comment on such electrical connections to 91 Honda fuel filters here at
the newsgroup.

Hang in there. The first time is always the toughest.
