Q: Good afternoon, my 91 honda accord does not read gas levels. I have to start it by pressing gas and sometimes it doesn't turn on.
91 honda accord I have to press gas pedal to start. The fuel Guage does not read gas levels correctly. Half way is empty and full is halfway. It doesn't go below halfway. Sometimes after when it's really hot car does not want to stay on it starts and it dies off. Then I try again pressing gas sometimes it works others doesn't. I have to wait the max I've waited was 5 minutes then I try again pressing the gas and it works. I've tried without pressing the guess and it doesn't start. Please help. I don't know where to start.
My car has 145000 miles.
