I have an 87 accord, it will crank, run for 2 seconds and then quit. I have replaced the fuel pump twice. I have ruled out it being the fuel pump. You can spray starter fluid in carb and it will not run any longer than 2 seconds. I think that something is killing the fire. Got any ideas? Could it be timing related?

If you keep giving it starting fluid does the vehicle continue to run?

Is it possible you can get a fuel pressure test done on it?
