Yesterday, I drove around the car 70 miles and just gone engine on the road at running situation. I tried to start again, but start sound ok but it doesn't clink, may be, due to gas not come out. How can I fix it?

thanks! Please response for me.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean the engine stalled while driving and won't restart?

Engine was good and powerful. Problem is that clinking sound OK, but it doesn't connect to fuel. My car is acura integra 1988, manual. Old car. After I stopped my car at the side road, I tried to start but it looks, gas not come out. I think, only engine stall problem, it should be no problem after one day to start the car.

I don't know how I can diagnosis.
Thanks!

Okay, I think I understand. Try this. See if the engine will start for a couple seconds when using starting fluid. Let me know what happens.

Start and soon engine stop. Even I push accelerating several times but it doesn't work. Fuel should come to run the car, but it doesn't work. Someone says fuel pump or fuse problem. I don't know.

Thanks!

I agree. Check to make sure the fuse is good, If it is, the next thing to do is check to see if there is power to the pump. If there is, the pump is bad.
