i had this problem in a crx it was to much suction in the tank i wouldnt start, then you losen the gas cap and it fired right up. so i just ran no gas cap and never had the problem again

walbro pumps need atleat a 1/4 tank or they just dont pick up fuel. 1/2 tank+ is best for the crx/civic 88-91 tank
