The fuel pump on a Honda Accord is a small, cylindrical device that is located in the fuel tank. It is responsible for pumping fuel from the tank to the engine. The fuel pump is powered by the car's electrical system, and it is typically controlled by the engine control unit (ECU).
The fuel pump is a critical component of the car's fuel system, and it is important to keep it in good working order. If the fuel pump fails, the engine will not be able to receive fuel, and the car will stall.
Here are some symptoms of a failing fuel pump:
* The car is difficult to start.
* The car stalls while driving.
* The car hesitates when accelerating.
* The fuel economy decreases.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to have the fuel pump checked by a qualified mechanic.
Here are some tips for maintaining the fuel pump:
* Keep the fuel tank full. This will help to keep the fuel pump cool and prevent it from overheating.
* Avoid running the car on low fuel. This can cause the fuel pump to overheat and fail.
* Change the fuel filter regularly. This will help to keep the fuel pump from becoming clogged with dirt and debris.
* Have the fuel pump inspected by a qualified mechanic every year. This will help to ensure that the fuel pump is in good working order and that it is free of any problems.
