Civic EG

so i traded my hatch for a f22 92 prelude the other day. when i got it the guy told me that i may need a new fuel pump in the near future. i was driving today and it started sputtering/knocking really bad. it runs as if i was pumping the gas pedal the whole time. when in neutral it revs perfectly smooth. after trying to drive it for a while and having it shut off on me a few times it eventually wont start. then if i let it sit 10 minutes it starts up and can drive good for about 10 feet then starts sputtering again.

i ordered a new fuel pump but i dont wanna go through the trouble of putting it on if thats not it.

and also, how can i check the relays? and is it possible i just new a new fuel filter?

any help is appreciated

start with the fuel filter. cheap and easy to do

X2 fuel filters are commonly overlooked

well i replaced the fuel filter today. didnt do anything im still having problems with it.

another thing... my check engine light is on. could that happen from a bad fuel pump? it flashes on and off whenever the car starts sputtering

im thinking it has something to do with ur throttle position sensor or the three sensors on ur distributor. try to pull a code from the ECU

I had a similar problem w my b18c1 I bought a new dizzy and problem solved

Don't just replace the dizzy without testing for resistance for each sensor, I forgot what the ohms spec range they each have to be at but do that fiirst, and also check for continuity to ground, I had that problem and it took forever to figure it out and ended up buying a new dizzy when I didn't need to, don't fall in the same foot steps as me.
