I HAVE A 98 ACCORD, IT STARTS AND RUNS JUST PERFECT...
BUT EVERY FEW HOURS IT STARTS DIEING.
DRVING AT ANY SPEED THE CAR STALLS AND USUALLY CRANKS BUT WONT START. LIKE TODAY, IVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MIN AND THE CAR JUST DIED WHEN I PARKED IT. I GET TO AUTOZONE AND THE CAR DIDNT DISPLAY ANY CODES EXEPT FOR FUEL TO RICH, I USED TO MUCH STARTING FLUID -TODAY WAS MY 1ST TIME USING IT-
WHY DOESNT THE CAR START?
COULD IT BE SOME SENSORS? ITS NOT THE FUEL PUMP, YOU CAN HEAR IT PUMPING FUEL AND IT HAS A STRONG JET OF FUEL.

Don't rule out fuel as when it runs great everything is working fine. When it quits and won't start that is when you need to find out if it is fuel or spark to the plugs. You need to find out which it is when the opportunity presents itself.

i think it may possibly be the spark, i want to try to check the spark right when it dies.... maybe the distributor is begining to die off
