Check for fuel- when you turn the key on, do you hear the fuel pump prime? Crack the fuel line at the filter. Does it have pressure(it should spray out)

Check for spark- pull a plug wire, pull a plug. Stick the plug in the end of the wire and ground it. Crank the car over. Is it sparking?

These are your best starting points(assuming it has gas in it).

I have to get another fuel pump from junkyard, because it won't run, I do have spark. tried sprying starting fluid through rail, and it still won't try to start. When I check the spark plug there is oil around the nut part. Do u think that the engine is bad. Thank you

there is gas in the tank, it is full, when the line off at filter there is no sprying, blew through both lines and they not blocked.

If there is no pressure, then your pump is not working. Maybe you have an electrical issue.

I have power at the main relay, however no pwer to fuel pump, and relay. where should i start to look for this problem.

david542

If anyone has anymore ideas that I could try, will be greatly helpful. Thank you

Slopoke

You have power going to the relay?
What about power coming from the relay to the pump.

Check it out. Maybe you need a main relay.

david542

no power going to fuel pump relay, and to fuel pump, however when the igintion is turn on i hear a click for about 3 sconds. do u think that my ecu is bad. Thank you

it sounds like your main relay get a different one and try that!

I'm going to the junk yard this weekend, and I would like to know all that I need to get for this car. I would like some ideas on this. Thank you

david542

I was at the junk yard, and don't have a honda wagon, so i would like to know what fuel pumps are interchangable. Thank you

david542

just to let u know that I have fixed it.

96teggylsse

cool... so what was it???

david542

I got another fuel pump, wired it to the battery and it started, however I still don't have power at the plug for the pump. The pump rely clicks, when I put a test light to it, it lights up. I wish somone would tell me excatly where the prolem lies. I been working on it for awhile.

96teggylsse

hmmm you might be looking for a short between your harness and your fuel pump!!! just check it over

david542

I do have power at the fuel sending unit, so i'm going to check for a short. do u or anyone know how the wire is routed. it would be greatly apprecited. Thank you

96teggylsse

mmmm no.. im not sure how its routed but... it should go back along the drivers side till you get to the seat and then i think it just goes straight over to the pump... i think hope this helps

david542

far as i can tell the wire runs under the body, but not sure where it comes up through the floor and hookes into to the ones that run along it from pass side to drivers side.

david542

just to let u all know that i wired a switch to the pump, and it runs fine, Thank you all for the help.
