    Not starting well

    Hi 3geez,
    My 1989 Honda Accord LX-i (fuel injection) I having some problems with warming up. It will turn over, but unfortunately almost instantaneously sputters out, unless you feather the gas pedal for about 5 or so minutes. I'm thinking it could be the fuel pump relay, but I'm not sure and I also have no idea where it is. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    This could be a bit of a long shot, since the engine fires, but check your airflow meter and see if it's in good condition.

    Hope I helped.

    Do some investigation of your Fast Idle Valve. Some general troubleshooting is available in the manual starting on p. 12-54. Manual is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/77q5hw120...q9ksSRB2a?dl=0
