Fuel Pump - Does not always prime / WHere is the best place to buy one cheap?
My fuel pump does not always prime. Sometimes I have to try for about 10 minutes to get my car to turn on. I changed my ingition and that grey box by the hood latch, which solved the problem for a while, until recently when the car did not start again. I cannot think of anything else to change but the fuel pump. ANyone have any ideas?
Also, if needed, where is the best/cheapest place to buy a fuel pump?
Thanks

This is typical for a honda during the summer..
If your having issues with the fuel pump not wanting to turn on.. Near your hood release latch is your PGM-FI main relay.. it control's weither or not the fuel pump kicks on..
This is due to the soldier joints in the relay being dry and cracked.. If you know how to soldier.. You can remove the 10mm bolt holding the relay in.. Pull the grey cover off the relay and re soldier the joints..

did you replace the relay with a new one or another used one..?
If so the joints could of been just as bad as the one you replaced it with..

Re: (ke98248)
Good link posted... I noticed they listed three on there for main relays... can you mix and match? I have one from a 96 CRV to use in my 92 hatch
