I have a 1988 Honda accord which has been parked for 8 years. Recently we have been working on it trying to get it to run but the problem is that it will start but won’t stay on. I know that the fuel pump is running because when I stick my head in the trunk I can hear it humming. Usually the car idles fast (not Shure how fast the tack is broken) and then the idle will start to move up and down and then it will die. We have tried pinching the vacuum lines but that didn’t help anything. I know that the engine is getting enough fuel to run because I can take the gas line off of the carberator and gas will squirt out. Any ideas?
