Default main relay box clicking like crazy?

just finish putting my integra back together from a long neglected winter for it and im having all sorts of problems. 94 gsr with type r head and a p72 obd1 ecu. well after replacing a few radiator hoses and the knock sensor my integra wont turn on and i hear a loud clicking noise from the main relay. and when im able to get it started it idles at about 2k and doesnt drop. if i accelerate the relay starts clicking again and the car sputters and shuts off. i have no clue of what can be the problem thanks in advance for your help

I just completed a swap and at first it wouldn't start, but I heard a motor-like sound from near my feet, found it was the main relay. Did some snooping around and ended up checking my grounds. There was minor corrosion on them so I went crazy with the sand paper, even sanded some paint down to metal so they had another place to connect. The car started after this, no more main relay troubles.
