1993 Accord stalling issues

1993 HONDA ACCORD

I own a 1993 Honda Accord EX with 5 speed manual with about 108000 miles on it.

The car stalled out at a speed of 50 miles and could not be pop-started. The car would not restart and my father towed it home, fortunately I was only about 1/2 a mile away.

A few hours later the car started but stalled out after less than 1 minute of running.

This morning the started and idled for over 10 minutes however I did not drive it due to a midwest snowstorm; I did not want to risk getting stuck in the snow.

Is it my fuel pump? Is there an easy way to test this or is it an ignition component?

The only other clue to what could be wrong is in the last 2 days about 4 times the car jerked when decelerating at various speeds; instead of a smooth deceleration the car jerked hard but only once each time.

Thanks for any help

Look the only way I can tell you anything about the fuel system is to have a pressure check done on the car's fuel system. When the car fails to start back up, I would have an extra spark plug around and check the wires to see if they are getting a good spark. Spark should be a nice blue color.

I would check the main relay by making sure the fuel pump comes on when you turn the ignition into the on position but do not start. You should hear a humming by the gas tank. My car would not start when the interior was hot (in Florida) but started the next morning fine after it cooled down. Does this only occur in hot weather, etc?

My car stalled last week and I found the problem in the ignition. The easiest way is to start at the plugs/wires and work your way to the distributor and the coil. Check for gas at the plugs too.
