Default Cranks , wont start !

My 89 Civic stars up in the morning and runs fine to work . After work she cranks but will not start unless I pour fuel in the throttle body . Then she runs fine all the way home . Also the idle drops very low when AC is turned on . ?????? Thanks for any help .

wait you're telling me that you poured gasoline in your throttle body? That can't be smart. Check your fuel pump.

It's actually different since (I believe) he has DPFI.

But yeah, check the fuel pump and FP relay, and check for fuel pressure.
