A couple weeks ago, and again today, my 98 Accord would crank like crazy but wouldn't start. I sprayed some starter fluid/ether spray into the intake and it sputtered to life.
I think this indicates a problem with the fuel flow. What do you think?
I think there's not a fuel filter that's easy to change. Sounds like I've gotta change the whole pump. What do you know about that?
I'm thinking about dumping some injector cleaner in the tank as a first step. Does that seem reasonable?
Would you suggest anything else?

I rarely use the last eighth of the tank of gas.
It burns some oil. I had the timing belt, water pump, and all other belts changed about 6 weeks ago, by a reliable mechanic I've known 30 years.
