I have to wait for about 10 minutes then the car will start. This problems also happens when I turn off my car and try to turn it on again right away.
Can anyone help?
Similiar problem on a 93 Olds Cutlass. Couldnt hear the pump so it was difficult to diagnos the problem.
On the honda you can clearly hear the pump. How long does the pump run when you turn the switch?
Could be the fuel filter. Trash clogs filter,car turns off especially at low rpm's. Car sits, trash settles and drives fine. As soon as the trash loads it shuts down again.
