car turns over but wont prime
So i have a f22b1 accord motor in a civic eg and it wont prime, the car turns over but it just stutters instead of primes (some times it will work and start but wont last long before it goes back to the stuttering ticking noise... The reason im posting this in the civic thread is because i dont think it is motor related it seems like a bad ground or fuel pump problem
Here is a video first it makes the ticking noise and then it starts to prime and you hear the main relay click but once i turn it over it starts making the ticking noise i cant check cel on it while its doing it

Ive checked and swapped main relays as well as ecu 's and it still has the problem
Ps i just pulled the motor and relocated brake lines... Everything is connected i will take a look at the fuel pump tommorrow all suggestions and help is greatly appriciated

Re: car turns over but wont prime
Thank you very much RonJ@HT the thermostat housing ground was the culprit. If there is any +rep or something on this forum like that that I can do for you please let me know
