I have an 87 accord, it will crank, run for 2 seconds and then quit. I have replaced the fuel pump twice. I have ruled out it being the fuel pump. You can spray starter fluid in carb and it will not run any longer than 2 seconds. I think that something is killing the fire. Got any ideas? Could it be timing related?

if you keep giving it starting fluid does the vehicle continue to run?
