Main relay is clicking, car does start and fuel pump primes, but then turns off and runs like crap h
Ok guys, the other day i went into my car 94 civic with h22a, and no fuel pump prime and all i hear is my main relay click and click and click, so today i went out and bought a new main relay, put it in and messed with my fuel pump wires, and all of a sudden it primes and the car starts, im like cool cool, then i shut it off try again and the car will start but the idle will go up and down then eventually go sdown to like 500 rpm and shut off, and the main relay will click like crazy will it is doing this, ive chcked all my fuses all of them are good, under the dash and under the hood, now is ther any ground on the fuse panel i should look for? or any other grounds or anything guys i need your help asap. It sounds like it is a ground problem but i dunno never ran into this please someone help a brother out thanks, i also have searched but nothing like this.

Check your ground by the thermostat housing. My car did funny stuff when that was loose.

The thermostat housing is the most important one besides your battery ground. I have heard that the relay will make noises when its going bad.

Re: (yellowrexsi)
I put a brand new relay in, and when i turn the car on it will run for like 10-15 seconeds and the relay will go nuts, im gonna check my grounds tomorrow, but i dont see how they could get loose out of nowhere. Is there any other ideas besides the grounds? I appreciate the help.
