Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2007ran out of gas
I recently ran very low on gas. I got in my car and it had trouble starting. I got it going and into the gas station. Now it wont start even with gas. It ignites but immediatly shuts down. Is there a problem now with a sensor or what? It feels like its either out of gas or flooded. Any advice? On Feb 26, 12:14 pm, Michael.S.C...@gmail.com wrote: > I recently ran very low on gas.

Its a 1994 honda civic and never really had any problems before. > On Feb 26, 12:14 pm, Michael.S.C...@gmail.com wrote: >> I recently ran very low on gas.

Should hear MAIN RELAY engage the fuel pump for three seconds or so. Switch it off and do it again about ten times. You may just have air trapped in the fuel lines. My Dog Caravan was that way if I ran it dry. If it's flooded, you'd be able to start it the way the owner's manual tells you to start a flooded Honda. your symptoms are backwards.

Clogged fuel filter? -- Mike Smith >> I recently ran very low on gas. I got in my car and it had trouble >> starting. I got it going and into the gas station.

It will usually wait until you pull out to pass a slow semi-trailer unit. It never happens when fuel flow through the filter is LOW, like starting. 'Curly' |
