Not nearly enough information to go on. What does it do when it doesn’t start? What does “acting up” mean? What does “messing up” mean? Which engine do you have (open the hood, look at the rear of the engine at the part that says PGM-Fi – does it say “Dual Point” above that? That’ll tell me which motor you have).
