I have a 94 honda accord hard to start?
I have put a new fuel pump in and did plugs and wires and cap and rotor button
Hi so what do you expect of a 20 year old car it must be only fit for one thing the scarp yard now.
What's the fuel pressure after the replacement of the pump? You'll need to check the fuel pressure by install a fuel pressure gauge and then crank the engine and see if the fuel pressure goes up then the vehicle start.
If you don't have a fuel gauge. This is a quick test:
The pressure has to be build up quick within a second or less for the car to run/start and the pressure has to remain as indicates on the gauge after the ignition switch off just a notch off on the gauge indicator.
If there's no pressure build up during the initial starting within the first second or so, the main relay is defected and need to be replaced. The main relay should click three time during the cranking process if you did not hear it click three times: Bad relay. See the following link about the main relay:

and another one about the main relay diagnosing and replacement:

Watch the related video:
What about timing? What are the compression readings? Did you just filled up the tank? Ever think about the fuel contamination? What about spark? Fuel and spark are my first suspects in your case. What about the timing belt? Remove the distributor cap and crank the engine over, see if the rotor is turning; If the rotor is not turning: The T-belt has broken.

Guess I've given to you enough ideas to start getting busy. Need more help? E mail me. HTH
- How much of a problem did Hondas have with there push to start feature failing to let their cars start? I have heard some people say Honda had a problem with this. Was it just a few Hondas or was it a big problem?
- I have a Honda HRX217 push mower. Backfired when trying to start it, now it won't start? It was running, then I shut it off to open and close a gate, and when I went to start it again there was a really loud backfire and now it won't start. It will sound like it's almost about to start but not. Then get progressively weaker each pull. I changed the spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Any ideas?
- I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect? I have a Honda Harmony HRB215 K4 SDA that won't pull start but if I take off the recoil and drill start it, it runs perfect. I did a compressin test, the pull start only gets the mower to 60psi but the drill gets the mower to 150psi. This mower does have a decompression vale where the ehaust opest about 1/8 of the way. I tore the ead off and checked and cleaned the valves. They don't stick open. Could there be an issue with the decompression valve? Or would it be the piston rings?
- 2002 Honda Civic with uneven idle and sometimes hard to start? 2002 Honda Civic with uneven idle and sometimes hard to start My Honda will at times sputter a little after starting it and either taking off in drive or reverse. It will also at times sputter when slowing down on a curve or over a speed bump. Recently a few times I have had to punch the gas when starting so it will catch. I recently had a new fuel pump installed but it is now doing the same thing it was doing before the new installation. Any ideas?
