If the pump is running, you will have fuel flow. If the pump is not running, there will be no fuel flow. An FI system will maintain pressure when shut off. A carbed system will allow the pressure to bleed off to the tank through the return line. You'd better check and see if this thing has a carb. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

If I am remembering the Accord model designations from back then correctly, unless there is a letter "i" after the LX, it has a carburetor. Bob |
