I have been having intermittent problems with my 88 honda accord 2bbl carb 4dr 135K. I turn the ignition key to start the engine and the engine starts normally but when I release the ignition key, the engine dies. To keep the engine running, I have to depress the gas pedal and keep the ignition key engaged. This is bad for the starter. The engine will start rough but as it smooths out, I slowly ease off the gas pedal and release the ignition key.
I suspect it could be a failing ignition system. It could also be a clogged fuel filter. I still have the original factory fuel filter on the car. The problem only seems to occur during cold winter month that I've notice so far.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
