Civic lsi 92 starts then goes off?

Question Details: when i put fuel in my car, it doesnt last as long as it should. it starts then when i rev, it sounds like its being starved of fuel. and just goes off. i have changed spark plugs and new fuel filter. i will try fuel injector cleaner later today, does anyone know any manuel checks i can do myself??? as someone will be buying my car soon. also when it starts, i keep revving, air comes out of the air filter. Plus could someone tell me how to respond to answers!! im new to this.



could it be that,

my car was left for 2 weeks undriven in icyy weather. and ice has builded up in the fuel tank and melted, making the fuel unpure. could i just need a full tank 2 flush eveything out? maybe i should try high octane fuel, worth a shot. if not i think i will set the car a light, lol. arghhhhhCivic lsi 92 starts then goes off?
thats strange, air coming OUT of the air filter... could be a problem with the throttle body/inlet manifold. try taking off the air filter and cleaning the throttle body out and clean make sure the butterfly flap is opening and closing freely.



Are you sure air is coming out of the air filter? Are you sure its not a vaccum leak or gasket blowing from the head or exhaust manifold etc as this is much more likelyCivic lsi 92 starts then goes off?
well I know what your talking about and for the guy above me uh no... your timing is off either the dizzy is to retard or the belt it self is off time you need to start by messing with the distributer by loosening all the bolts there should be 3 you might want someone in the car to to help you will need to tighten the top bolt just enough to slide the distributer from side to side make sure you mark where the distributer is at now so if you don't see any improvement you can just put it back. the second thing would be the belt you need to go by a haynes manual or look it up online on how to set the timing it could be that your belt jumped a couple of teeth while driving I could talk you through it if you email me at itisforreal@yahoo.com let me know
