Ok i own a Acura 89, and i let it sit for about 8 months i put more gas in it and now its gives me problems when i start her. She tries... putters sputters..... and then gives up... i give it a min.. try again.... does the same.... give it a min.... and she starts up normal.... Thinking fuel filter.... what do you all think?



Possibly old gas in the line.

possibly a thorough tune-up would help.

more than likely it is a fuel problem, plugged areas.

gasoline has a tendency to completely evaporate overtime leaving a gooey / hard residue that plugs the fuel system.

a fuel additive like techron might help clean the fuel system.
