Now,on another post,you said it sometimes runs normally.Then other
times,you had to keep a foot on the gas pedal to keep it running.
It seems to me that the throttle HAS to be open farther than idle for it to
reach 3K rpms.(fuel-injected or carb.)
Perhaps it's sticking? set wrong?
It's not going to hit 3000 rpm closed.(to idle position.)
That's a lot of air for a leak.

1989 Honda Accord 5 speed, 2.0 Car will start and run for about 5 seconds at 3000 RPM and then shut down. It will do this EVERY time I fire up the car. The engine seems to sound fine. Checked for vacuum leaks and the like, but can't figure this one out.... Anybody wanna buy a Honda?
