I suppose it is Wikipedia. We can update it at our will. But we should get it right before changing it.

#2 - Did the 82-83 EK have a 12-valve head??? I seriously question this, since the 82-83 EL was 8 valve. The EL usually followed the EK design, or so it seems, just without CVCC, and at slightly lower displacement...

Technically all the Accord CVCC engines '76-'83 (1600 & EK -I never remember the codes for the earlier '76-77 1600 CVCC & Non CVCC engines ), were 12-valve since they had the Auxhillary valve in the fuel-rich CVCC chamber... though obviously that's different from the conventional 12-valve layout in the main combustion chamber like the later '84-5 engines.

Regarding Electric Fuel pumps,
Mine tended to either work or not work at all, so the car wouldn't start in the first place, though could usually be shocked back into working by giving them a light tap with a hammer (or whatever was availible) for a fair while, untill I got around to replacing it.

I also had some similar running problems for a while -though never stranding me- from dirt in the carburettor...

Yeah while it's technically a 12 valve, it shoudln't be considered so. I like to think this because my ES2 has "12-Valve" cast into the valve cover. There are 12 valves plus auxillary valves. So technically it would be 16-valve.

Honda doesn't count those valves, so I try not to as well.
