i have a 1996 Honda Accord with 144,000 plus miles. it has an automatic transmission with 2 wheel drive. In order for my car to start i must first place my foot on the gas peddle lightly then start the car. also when i stop sometimes the car would just shut off automatically. If i start the car and let it run sometimes it would maybe run for a minute or two then shut off. or sometimes it would continue running. i have changed fuel filter, spark plugs, change the oil, spark plug wires and oil filter. Please help me with this situation. :( :( :( :( :(

I would replace the EFI relay. Check it out. It is located up under the dash on the driver side.

One is the fuel low indicator light. The SRS is for the air bag system on the front. Check the fuse for the SRS. The EFI relay is the Electronic Fuel Injection relay.
