Default 91 Civic starting/acceleration problem

My STD is having trouble starting... it'll start up for a second, and shut down. This happens usually after it's been out in the hot weather for a while, after a drive, fill up the tank at a station, come back and it won't start.

The only way to solve this problem is to pump the accel. as i'm starting it, or depress it fully, causing a huge gust of white smoke to expel from my exhaust.

I just resoldered the main relay and nothing happened to solve my problem, so i'm shit out of ideas.

Also, during normal driving, when I depress the accelerator, the RPM will go up a good thousand or two, but the car won't actually accelerate... just have that steady annoying high RPM noise. Not sure if this is also caused by the same problem...


Anyone got any ideas? I'm about to just take it to a shop
