Hi I've been working on my sisters 1996 Honda Accord I've checked everything the main relay is good I know for a fact I've tried it on my car the fuel pump is good because I took the fuel pump out and hooked it directly to the battery so I know it runs but for some reason it's just where it connects is not getting any power it's got to be something with the wiring anybody else had any problems like that could really use some advice

Power to the fuel pump has to go through the main relay. There are two relay coils inside the main relay that need to be energized for power to be allowed to the fuel pump.

Check for some of the following:

• Blk ground wire from G101 needs to supply ground to main relay.
• Under-hood Fuse No. 33 (ECU fuse) needs to supply power to main relay and ECU
• When starting under-dash Fuse No. 9 needs to supply power (+) via the Blu/Red wire (for cars with Auto transmission) or Blk/Grn wire (for cars with M/T) to the main relay
• ECU needs to supply ground (-) via the Grn/Blk wire to the main relay
• Under-dash Fuse No. 2 (fuel pump fuse) need to supply power via the Red/Wht wire to the main relay
