hmmmmmmmmmm.... ;)

Quite probably your fuel pump is dying. They often go out in a slow and painful way. You need to get it checked out by a qualified mechanic.

Good luck. :cool:

I couldnt just get in the trunk and change it myselfe? I changed the head gasket, so hopefully I could change a fuel pump. Or do you mean there could be another problem

I mean there could be another problem. Could be the relay or the ECU or even the wiring harness.

BTW, is the ECU throwing a code?

I'm not sure how difficult it is to change your particular fuel pump - some of them are a real bitch - you might ask around in the accord forum. And it's always a little dangerous working with exposed gasoline like that.
