Starting/Running Problem... Sign In

(1988 Honda Accord LX) The engine cranks but doesn't stay running; When I press the accelerator to try to get the engine to idle, it doesn't rev; It feels like there is absolutely no power- then it shuts off. The symptoms are similar to when the fuel filter is clogged. Here is what I tried: I made sure it had gas, it's receiving fuel to the carburator, no fuel filter clogs etc, fuel pump works, I checked the fuses, it's getting a spark from the coil and it looks like the choke isn't sticking. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You.

Has this been sitting around or did this all the sudden start happening while you were driving it?

Does choke butterfly move at all? As DS asked did this do this while running or just now on a cold start up? It can run at all so far I think the choke is all wrong either too rich or lean then continued trying it's flooded type thing?
