Default Main Relay help

When im on the highway going around 4 k rpm , my tachometer jumps around and then my main relay starts to click then the rpm needle goes to zero and I get a check engine light(my vtec light also comes on when the jumping occurs-i have this light for testing purposes so no flaming ). And when i try to give it some gas all it does is nothing.

Yeah, or, just replace it with a new one from majestichonda.com for under $45.

I replaced my relay last year and when this problem started to occur i used my old one which seemed to be working fine but that didnt work either and it was still the same problem. There are no codes when this happens although the light does come on when the problem occurs. Any help will be great. I heard this could also be your ground on the thermostat , i am allso thinking of getting a new fuel pump for it.

I wouldn't just throw a fuel pump at it, because you are going to be pissed when you go through the hassle of dropping the tank and changing the pump and that doesn't fix the problem

I think that all the symptoms are incidental to the root cause of your engine dying, you are going to need some testing to see if you are loosing fuel pressure first, then hook up a test light where you can see it and monitor lose of spark next. It could be several different reasons why your car is dying. But lts start there.
