Default fuel pump not priming

Ok went to start the eg hatch. 95 civic hatch dx d15b7. It won't start. Fuel pump isn't kicking on. Bought a new main relay to try it and still not pump. What else should I check? Thanks.

Check whether installed fuses 31 and 24 have battery voltage on both top test tabs. Click fuses link in my signature. Be sure to test fuse 24 with the key in ON(II).

check for power at the pump i believe its the green wire with a yellow stripe (with power on of course) if theres power there your pump is bad, if there isnt trace it back

If it is getting power, but not turning it's dead in the water.

Could have a main relay failure. Listen for clicking and besides that you will have to test the relay if no power to pump with key on engine off using a multi meter volt meter. Remeber it only primes for about 2 seconds so you have to monitor voltage around that time frame. Main relay "fuel pump relay" is located behind driver knee panel near hood release lever.

check the ground connection on the thermostat housing. Clean good.
The main relay is grounded thru the ECU to this point. Very common problem.
