How do you know if you need to change your fuel pump on a 1987 honda civic?
I can start my car but when I push on the gas the car dies ! What should I do?

The spark is likely weak or it's firing at the wrong time--I would replace the igniter and coil. Apply heat transfer compound to the back of the new igniter. Fuel pumps on Hondas, and other cars, rarely are the problem. This link may help:
