1997 Honda Accord mileage: 170,000. The car wasn't running to great and wouldn't run at all if you had less than a half of a tank of gas. My husband dropped the gas tank, cleaned it out and replaced the fuel pump. It ran great for a couple of drives and then suddenly wouldn't start again. We replaced the relay. Again, it ran great for a few rides and then wouldn't start again. We didn't hear the pump kick on when we were starting it so thought maybe we got a bad pump. We replaced that and the car ran great this time for a couple of days. Now it won't start again! We really don't have the money to take it in to Honda do you have any advise? Thank you!

You must determine if your engine will not start because of lack of fuel or lack of spark. If fuel is the problem, check the fuel pump, pressure etc. If no spark, check the coil, distributor, 12 volts to the coil, etc
