Damn, that sucks. well congrats to non running cars!!

Absolutely! LOL

Murphy's law because yesterday I gave one of my sons buddies a driving lesson, he wants to learn to drive and buy a stick shift. The beater is a 96 5sp Accord EX and I was running my mouth telling him to consider one, he's a senior in high school. Great gas mileage, cheap reliable transportation. "I paid 1300.00 for this a year and a half ago and only had to change oil and do the front brakes since" AAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAA!

that would have to be one veeeeeerrrrryyyy dirty fuel filter. but who knows? 10ish dollars compared to 200ish? its worth a shot. but id definatly check that fuel pressure when you can. it needs to be within spec. i had an 02 pickup that had pressure but about 10 psi less then what was spec and it wouldnt run it would start but die right away or if it did run it would run like crap and not keep an idle.

Fuel filters got about 7 yrs, 70k on it. Fuel pump was replaced in 2006. A fuel filter def won't hurt her! :emotions122: I'll make sure to post the reading once I get it done.
