HELP! Motor cranks, has spark, but no fuel (sometimes)
Basically after looking at the car, I'm simply running out of ideas. The car was running fine for the longest time ever, no CEL's until recently.
1992 CX hatch w/D16Z6
CEL's I'm getting:
22 - VTEC pressure switch
41 - O2 Sensor
And every now and then, 6 - Coolant temp sensor
The Rundown:
The car cranks. I'm getting spark. But it seems like I'm not getting fuel. I don't hear the fuel pump prime. On a good day, it seems the fuel pump will prime and the car starts up just fine with no CEL's. I checked all grounds and everything checked out. Checked all fuses, and everything checks out also. I also recently noticed the previous owner hacked up the harness near the main relay/fuse box, looks like a ghetto alarm job that was removed, so I'm gonna resolder everything and clean it up.
I'm thinking could my main relay or fuel pump relay have gone bad? or could it have something to do with my ignition switch? or bad fuel pump?
From time to time, it will actually turn over and run for a few seconds, but will eventually die off. I'm thinking there's no fuel.
Any help would be appreciated guys, I'm getting frustrated, I'm pretty sure its something small. I just wish i had a spare relay to test.

you should be able to feel if the relays working when you turn the key it should click or at least vibrate. you could also take a multimeter to the bottom of the relay with the key on and check for voltage across 87 and 30. if there's no voltage there, the relays bad
