I have a 94 Honda Accord EX.

The car has been sitting for several months now and I'm trying to piece it back together and get it running again.

The last time it ran (with brand new spark plugs) it had to be jumped off (because of battery) but it smoked white out of the exhaust badly. I drove it about a quarter-mile before it cut off on me again for good.

Months later, I've replaced the battery and it turns over nicely unlike before but will not start.

After letting go of the ignition I can hear what sounds like gas pouring but can't tell where it's coming from. I can also smell an odd gas smell.

The last few times the car was ran it wanted to idle so low after running it for a bit that you had to keep tapping the gas to keep it from cutting off.

Where do I start?

Thanks guys, you're the best.

 

drain the gas out and put in fresh. then change ur oil. check for spark and codes, then if u have no codes and have spark check the rad for the water level..

 

I would start with fuel pressure check see if you are getting proper pressure to the front of the car

-- if you are getting the correct pressure then you know the pump is working correctly.

--the hardly idle problem can be mult. problems IE bad IAC and a map sensor issue causing the car to run reall rich simulating a idle problem. As for the white smoke could also be fuel .

--another thing to check is to see if there isnt a problem with the feed line fro the pump to the line in the top of the bracket that holds the fuel pump sometimes i have seen the hose there spring a leak and not get enough pressure to the front of the ar thus poor idle and your running water sound.

-these are some of the things that i would check and fingured id give yea little of my 2 cents. hope this helps. good luck
