HELP: 1990 Honda Accord Problem...
HELP: 1990 Honda Accord Problem...
Soo with these high gas prices, I have no choice but to drive my beater Accord around, but I ran into a huge problem yesterday.
While driving it on the freeway, going about 70mph, the CEL suddenly came on, the RMPS dropped from 3k to 0 and stay there. The car had no power and the oil light came on. I tried giving it gas but there was no power. So I just roll on the freeway till the next exit were the car just died when I came to a complete stop.
The car was not over heating, sitting 1/4th the the mark, pop the hood too and no smoke, nothing burning, engine was fine. There is half a tank of gas, I fill it up early that morning, drove her around throughout the day, she was good. Not the battery, the lights and radio work fine.
When I let her cool for a bit (waiting for AAA), I tried turning her over, engine sounds like it wants to turn over but it can't like something is stopping it. Its making the noise it makes when the car starts and the next noise it turns on, well, its not making that next noise (if that helps),
AAA pick it up and towed and I came to the conclusion that it may be the fuel filter. What do you guys think? I need help asap,
. All signs point to fuel filter either being clogged, dirty or broken?
I found this, not sure if this helps:
