I own a 98 Accord Coupe 2.3l 4 cylinder automatic. Here is when I have had this problem. the first few times it was at the gas station. I filled up the tank from about 1/4 full and started the engine. It started then sputtered off. Then I tried to restart it and it just cranked. i waited for a few minutes tried again. It just cranked. After a few time it started. I thought the gas might be too low living in florida and it was some for of vapor lock, not sure. I use 93 octane in the car and use Shell gas. I then had the same problem at work leaving for lunch. the car sits outside in the sun all morning. The gas guage was around less than 1/4 tank. I went and put 5 gallons of gas in the tank,which took about 20minutes and it started right up. For some reason the addition of gas to the tank helps it start up.Now today, I have 1/2 tank of gas and the same thing happens.I checked the fuse on the pump and I can hear it power up. The immobilizer light stay on for a few then shuts off while cranking. Any ideas. I am now stuck at work!!!!!!! The fuel pump is lifetime. has anybody heard of this problem?
