It could be the main relay, this happened on my brothers DA9. We replaced the main relay and it works great now.

The main relay is located by the ECU up under the passenger side dash.

The main relay on your car is under the dash on the driver's side of the car, near the hood release lever. It is a little box with a big plug going into it, and it has a j-shaped bracket attahced to it held in place with a few 10mm bolts.

Also here's a way to diagnose it:

Turn the key into the "on" position, but do not start the car. Watch as the check engine light goes out, and listen for a "clink" noise from the hood relase lever area (where the main relay is).

If you hear a "click" the car will start, and the main relay is working right then, but if you hear no "clink" then the relay is bad, and you wasted time/money on a fuel pump.

BTW:

What type of fuel pump did you swap in? If you swapped in a new aftermarket one in then I'd swap it out for the old OE honda one - used honda is better than new aftermarket.

Thanks for clearing that up EH2. I thought the main relay was on the other side.

It actually is on some cars, but in the 1992-1995 Civic it's right by the hood relase area. Also in the DA Integras it's on the driver's side, but further up inside the dash - it's a PITA compared to the EG Civics.

On an EK the main relay is on the passenger side of the dash.

Awesome, I knew I've seen it on the passenger side before I believe it was an EK. Thanks for clearing that up.
