Okay, this is my first time posting. I don't know too much about cars and I'm a girl(what a cliche) so please bare with me. I own an 89 Prelude and about 3 months ago when trying to start my car at home the engine just kept turning over. Jumping it didn't work. But what ended up working was that my friend flipped a switch under the hood close to the top of the hood that apparently allowed the gas to flow to the engine. So my problem was that the gas wasn't getting to the engine. (Clogged fuel injectors??)

Anyways, it didn't happen again until today. I am off at school and miles from home so unfortunately I was trying to explain to my dear old mom where the switch was located. And apparently I have no idea! I thought I knew but she can't find it and it is difficult over the phone. So my plea to anyone out there is to explain to me exactly where this switch is? ... what it is? ... and if there are any pictures of it? I have been searching online and can't find anything and my car manual was stolen so I have nothing. Except you! Hopefully. I know this is a long post, but any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to pay for a tow truck.
Thanks so much
