I have a 94 honda accord, when i do about 2 miles on the parkway the engine light comes on, after my destination I turn off the car and it takes about 40 min before it will turn over, Could this be a gas filter or fuel pump issue. Help!

Check for applicable trouble codes. How long since a tune-up? Anytime you think it is a fuel issue, use a gage and check fuel pressure. Some of the national brand autostores used to loan out a fuel pressure gage. You may have to put up a deposit, but, you get it back when you return the tool.

When the problem occurs, are you saying it won't even crank, or it cranks good but won't start?
