Re: fuel filter and fuel pump on an 89 integra
The normal procedure for a no-start is:
1. Check for fuel
2. Check for spark.
The spark is controlled by an array of things and can go wrong at any
time. Many integras of your age suffer a dead igniter and sometimes
coil.
The best location for humming pump is from inside the car. It's
quitter and very close. You probably know that a pump only runs for
the first few seconds.
Checking for fuel is best when a plug is removed.
>Do I have to install a new washer?
Yes. In the mean time tighten it really tight with one hand or about
8-12lb.
>Can a clogged fuel filter cause the fuel pump not functioning?
No. The fuel pump has a relief valve. Please check for fuel, spark,
and repost, if time permits.
