car not starting
recently put in a NEWER fuel tank, my old one was leaking, i put in a new fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs, i had a friend who works on cars come over and take a look at my honda, even after all the new stuff we put in my car is having trouble staying on, i have to pump gas a lot to get it started and unless i keep accelerating my car idles and turns off, my friend says its the air sensory or something? any ideas?!?! PLEASE HELP!!

RE: car not starting
any engine codes (check engine lights)?
I would get a fuel pressure gauge on there since you just worked on that a lot.
You also need to make sure your plugs are firing. I would check the fuel pressure first though.

RE: car not starting
its a honda accord vtec 4, 1995, we thought about the spark plugs, havent tested it out, but like i said, the guy who came over said, and myself i think that the car might be receiving either not enough, or too much air, the car starts, but doesnt stay on unless i keep accelerating, and even then, the car has trouble accelerating
RE: car not starting
Here are a few things that can be wrong with your Vehicle...
Faulity spark plug wires...
Vacume leak in the intake manifold or in the vacume hoses...
Incorrectly gapped plugs..
Just a few things for you to check out...

RE: car not starting
I'd agree.... get a fuel pressure gauge on there... under accell it's a constantly increasing call for air and fuel but once you level out it's just a stream so then your backflow valves and stuff in the fuel pump come into play.... are you certain that you have the pickup etc installed properly? get a pressure gauge on there and let us know what the fix is....
This may be outlandish but have you ever checked the timing on it?

RE: car not starting
The car starts and runs for about a minute but there seems to be a problem with the intake manifold. It runs but it has difficulty staying on possibly the idle air control valve, manifold absolute pressure sensor or maybe intake air temperature sensor. The car does not idle you have step on the gas to keep it on. Fire and fuel are good but having trouble with the air mixture.
