I have a honda accord 1987 4 door, 2.0si auto.
When you go to start the car it will tept turning but wont start! If you leave the car for a wile then you try again, it starts. If there is a fuel pump problem, and if there is what can i do to fix it. and where is the fuel pump!!! thanks, Brad.
Try looking in the area of the left rear wheel. jack it up, and use safety stand, pull wheel off, there should be a cover over it. Follow lines from tank to that area. Look for a filter in that area too, or ahead of it in the line. Get someone to turn key, just to on, and see if you hear it come on momentarily. Personally, i'd try new filter first because your going to want to change it anyway if pump needs to be done.
Gotta remember though, it probably won't cycle(hum) if system already up to pressure. Did you try to start it?
New pump about $140 at autozone. Recommends as I do, dropping tank & cleaning tank & strainer before replacing pump.
Also, pump probably won't cycle until pressure drop detected, due to engine running, or leak in line, or defective pump not able to reach max pressure required. Don't suppose you have access to a fuel pressure gauge, just to confirm?
Did you check for power when no start, at pump with 12 volt test light?
