Fuel pump not priming (searched)
94 accord, 94 h22 swap.
car ran before i removed the motor for some work. Tried to start over the weekend and the car would not prime the fuel pump.
when i turn the key to II i can hear a rather rapid clicking behind the dash. and the cel comes on, but it is dim. The car will turn over.
Im assuming the clicking is a relay. Does it sound like Im not grounding the batt, engine, chasis very good or is the relay on the way out?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Fuel pump not priming (searched)
if you hear the clicking in the dash (drivers side, i think), it probably is the relay. you can probably pull it out and test it and the socket w/ a multi-meter, or just buy a new one, or a known good used one, and try swapping it.
i would probably start just by rechecking all the connections in the engine bay, and where ever the relay grounds (probably a ground block somewhere in the dash). if that checks out, i would try can try swapping out the relay, or testing it and the connections.
