My wife called on Sunday. She was leaving work and our '92 Accord would not start. It cranked fine, so battery was not a problem. A passer-by who identified himself as trained in Honda repairs helped her. After looking under the hood he said it wasn't getting gas. He opened the trunk and supposedly manipulated something with a screwdriver. Afterward the car started. He told my wife to buy fuel injection cleaner and add it to the gas tank. She drove home. Over a couple days since, I've had no problem starting the car twice. We haven't driven it away from home yet.
My questions:
- What is in the trunk that one might adjust that would effect the fuel flow to the engine?
- Now that it has been adjusted and seems to start OK, is the problem fixed, i.e., can wife go back to taking this car to work without fearing being stranded?
- Do the experts agree with the fuel injection cleaner suggestion?
TIA,
