Okay, so I went to start my car today but when I tried to turn it on, it would crank but it wouldn't turn over. I noticed that I didn't hear any fuel prime when the key was turned to the 'on' position... and no click after the CEL light goes off... So I'm guessing its the fuel pump? Or the Main Relay? If it's the fuel pump, what could it be that's making the fuel pump unable to prime fuel, because I don't want to remove the backseats and carpeting just to stare at the fuel pump, not knowing what to look for. And is it possible that it's a bad Main Relay?

btw... this is for a '92 Hatchback CX

thanks.

 

check your main relay, that's my best bet if you're fuel pump doesn't kick on and etc.. happens to my nephews car quite often.

 

definatly the main relay, happened to me on my CRX and my last civic. u need to take it out and put some new solder on the cracked points, ill find u a link... **** the link doesnt work anymore, im sure u can find it on here, just search main relay

 

yeah i've heard about re-soldering the main relay joints. If anyone has it, can they show me a comparison picture of a joint that's 'perfect' and a joint that's 'cracked'?

 

it was the main relay... swapped it with another one and it primed and started just fine.. thanks guys...

 

nice
