93 accord with 120,000. I had the starter and the battery replaced 3,000 miles ago and now im having issues when starting the car. 3 days ago it took several tries before it turned over...same thing yesterday and this a.m. it started up and then immediatly was unable to keep its idle and stalled. Started it up again and it was fine. Any thoughts? Fuel pump?
thx

Your train of thought matches mine. I would ask for a fuel pressure check. You could start by replacing the fuel filter, but if that didn't accomplish the task I would get the pressure checked.

Suggested Repair

Start by replacing the fuel filter, then have fuel pressure checked if the hard-start and stalling problem continues.

Conversation Summary

A 1993 Honda Accord with 120,000 miles is hard to start despite a recently replaced starter and battery. It also stalled immediately after starting once, then restarted and ran normally. The owner suspected the fuel pump. The expert agreed a fuel-system check was appropriate and recommended replacing the fuel filter first, followed by a fuel-pressure test if that does not resolve it. The owner agreed to follow that advice.
