Thanks for this very informative post. I just had broke down after filling up gas in my tank. It was practically empty and ran fine from one gas station to the other gas station for a cheaper price. After filling gas I drove away and started to notice that I was bogging out every time I accelerated then it came to the point that I couldn’t even start my vehicle. It would start but I couldn’t press the gas, it would die on me. Now I’m going to try and check the fuel pump first. Or maybe I should start with the small things as you did. I don’t think I can check my pressure though.
Thanks for watching. Glad to help. Check this video out. This is how I made a fuel pressure Guage and checked my pressure. czcams.com/video/aNTgjZTv0RY/video.html The fuel pumps aren't very expensive on Amazon though. It does sound like you may have fuel pump issue.
Great video on how to change the fuel pump for the 2.3L engine Honda Accord! Take a lot of pictures before removing it, e.g., the ground wire, etc. IMO, it would be good to disconnect the battery and the fuel pump fuse before proceeding on with the job. Also, it probably is good to replace the fuel pressure sensor as well! It locates on the right behind side of the valve cover gasket.
Thank you for watching. Yep yep gotta disconnect the battery before doing any of this. I'm so used to doing it, I rarely acknowledge it on video.

I think mine may have the same issue but i changed the motor for the fuel pump only didn't buy the full pump. Although i did that it starts and idles but when i try to rev up the engine stalls and cuts out can anyone give any ideas as to why.
@@HowIDoItFaM yea it did. The car would start and idle but when i rev it just dies on me i can start right after but it will be the same out come i hace to rev it gently tonbe honest but when the vtec kicks it stalls
Very good video! I have one question cause I have dealt with the gas tank access before (had to drain out bad gas): did you consider going through the rear seat instead of from the back of the car?
Thanks for watching. Yep I could have released the back seat lever and folded the back seat down and had access. It's so much room either way. Honestly it's just what I did on this one. Maybe I had junk on rear seat at the time, 😂 I don't know. If you haven't already please consider subscribing and Liking the video. It really helps the channel grow. Thanks again
I just did the fuel pump/sending unit do you have to release air out of the System or crack open the bleeder if it has one? Or should it just crank if everything is good? Also do you have a video on how you took off the fuel rail like you did?
Nahh no air bleeding or anything I just started it. I don't think I have a video of me taking off the fuel rail. But I do have one where I made a tool to check the fuel pressure.
@@HowIDoItFaM thanks fam your vid helped me do this job good shit thank you for the advice and quick response. I will attempt to go this direction. I was just watching it lol to give me an idea. Is it just the 4 or 5 bolts along the rail? Then just remove the whole thing as one unit?
Would you say it is the fuel pump if the car starts and runs for a little while and than out of no where….stops? Does the same cranking after but after a few hours the car starts up again?
Thanks for watching! To answer your question, Possibly. It's Possible that it could be the main relay or ignition switch as well. The first thing I would do is check that fuel pressure. I have video of how I did that without buying the expensive tool czcams.com/video/aNTgjZTv0RY/video.html
@@HowIDoItFaM changed the fuel pump and the main rely. There times the main rely clicks and the fuel pump hums and still nothing and there are time that none of them happen and it still doesn’t start so my next step is the ignition switch with the lock cylinder
@@matthewdiaz25 The bad ignition switch is pretty common to cause starting problems. I try to eliminate the inexpensive stuff first. Actually I'm in the process of getting my parts together because I believe my ignition switch is causing my stumbling when starting and not wanting to start when warm. Im going to pull a part this weekend to find one. Those things are expensive new and o.e.m. Does jiggling your key help any at all. Here lately ( since I've been driving the Honda a lot more over the last 2 months) I've been turning the key over kinda fast and firm and it seems to help.
The verdict is in…. It was a bad distributor. Changed the fuel pump, the main rely, spark plugs, the coils, the fuses, and the ignition switch. I would pull the spark plugs out and run the engine to see if water was in there and nothing. Would turn the key and hear the chick of the main rely and the hum of the fuel pump and it would start on cold. Run 10-15 mins and than die. Once it died, I would crank and no start for a hour and start back up after it rest. I would test the coils cold and it would spark so I think I was good on spark. Finally I made the car die again and I checked the spark again and no spark… sooooo I figured the distributor was maybe working part time. Changed the distributor and it’s been running fine since.
ive been having a similar problem, my car just cranks but not starting it will start sometimes, i changed out the main PGMFI relay and i heard the fuel pump come on and the car started but when i switched off it just wont start again, could it be the fuel pump ? or probable the relay i got wasnt good? i still dont hear the fuel pump come on when i turn the ignition.. i took the fuel pump out and tested it ouutside of the car and it pumps just fine. help :(
Thanks for watching. Have you changed the fuel pump yet? I know I had an intermittent fuel pump issue and got me up and running. I have another video where I checked the fuel pressure and discovered it was hardly producing any pressure.
Whats up brother? Just wondering, i got a p0170 p0171 and and p1456. Could the p0170 and p0171 cause the p1456? I know the p0170 and the p0171 are evap leaks.
Thanks for watching. I appreciate that. Yessir all of those could be connected. It's hard to diagnose since I'm not there in person. I'm a be honest that's a "Gremlin" code. Could be as simple as a loose or bad gas cap. It also could be one or a few leaks around the fuel tank. Have you had any work done recently?
@HowIDoItFaM no one haven't had any work done recently. But what I can say is that, I didn't have an issue with the car until after I had gotten gas this one particular time. I drove about 15 miles and then the car started sputtering. After which my light came on. Actually had to pull to the side of the road because it completely stopped. Then i did end up making it back home. But the light is still on
Sounds like your fuel pump may be on the outs. First thing I would check for is vacuum leaks and fuel leaks. I have video about how to check your fuel pressure. That's what helped me discover my issue.
@HowIDoItFaM thanks bro. I had a feeling that may be what it is. Because I smell gas when before I didn't smell any. Ima check your video out right now

Power steering is fine ( well at least for now) I spilled some coolant on the belt at some point that's why it was squealing. Yea the whole thing was really cruddy ( brittle wires and rubber).

Seems you are some kind of mechanic. I paid to have the fuel pump replaced, before just turn the key & no need to press the pedal, but now its a bit hard to start, need to floor the pedal, any idea why, may be some air in the fuel line ?

bad idea to use an electric drill...no?????
You can Use one. I had it on one of the lowest settings, just to screw the bolts in. After that you can torque them to spec.
@@HowIDoItFaMi think they may be referring to the fact that an electric drill is an ignition point when working over an open gas tank.
