I have a 97 Honda Accord Lx. I go to start my car and I have to pump it to keep it started. Its putting and running ruff. I wondering if this is the fuel pump?

When is the last time you did a full and complete tuneup? Also changed all the filters air / fuel / oil ?

. Replace the fuel filter:

. Replace the spark plugs (NGK only) with the exact ones that originally came in the car.

. Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil, if the problem persists:
