Default Main relay problem

Im having what i think to be a main realy problem(have been for a while)
Sometimes it dont click on. It started getting worse lately now sometimes i can hear it click and hear the fuel pump come on but it will bog and hesitate really bad could it still be the main relay.

Also i pulled the main realy out and took the cover off then plug it up and let it just hang there and i could hear it click a lil. but coudnt hear the fuel pump so i shook it a lil then i could hear the pump come on

You could try this...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Jimmy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">HOW TO: Fix your honda main relay.
-------------------------------------------------------

Ok

Ever wander why your car won't start when it's hot outside, or maybe even after you take it out for a drive and come back and she won't turn on. It will do nothing but crank and turnover.

If you'll notice IF your problem is the main relay your fuel pump won't prime on.

This is because of a faulty PGM-FI main relay. With the car being a 92-95 civic..with your car being around 10-12 years old the soldier joints on the relay have dried out and have bad connection and cause your main relay to not let your fuel pump prime on.

A new main relay at honda is around $58.00 - $60.00

But why pay 60.00 when you can fix it for less then $5.00?

</TD></TR></TABLE>

Hope this helps.

well sometimes the pump will prime and it will run like crap i.

Bust out a multimeter and check those wires, man. It sounds like a bad connection in one of them.

The main relay is on it's way to The Great Parts Department In The Sky. Solder the connections, or get a new one.
