I have a 1987 Accord LXi 2 Door Hatchback
I just changed out my alternator (what a pain that was) and now I'm having a different problem. My car is having trouble starting and only running on 3 cyls. A tune up didn't help at all. New plug wires didn't help at all. I'm going to check for a cracked distributor cap, but I dont think it is.
When it tries to start at first it cranks a second then there's an immediate halt. That happens a couple times, and sometimes it starts fine, but still runs on 3 cyls.
Also my PGM-FI light comes on every once in a while. Any advice on what I need to do? Thanks
