My Acura Legend is having intermittent trouble starting, that seems to be happening more frequently. It will crank, no problem, but won't start. Gets spark, good battery. Can happen even with a full gas tank. Think there is a fuel delivery issue, though; also have an increasing cruise CO emissions level that is probably related/symptomatic.
Possiblilty that fuel pump may be acting up, but what else could be going on?

Hi bganz,

Check the main relay.

Other areas to check are the fuel regulator and injectors.
