i have a 89 crx dx and my problem is my car will start up in the mornings just fine, but later as the day goes on and it gets hotter the fuel pump will not turn on. i have to keep turning the key back and forth, then finally it will "catch" and the pump will come on. any ideas as to what might be the problem? could it be a relay? please help, it is getting really annoying

 

thall huh, i'm from austin so i'll help ya. change the main relay. It happens all the time. I'ts on the drivers side Inside the car next to the main fuse box, to the left. . it says main relay and some other stuff. You have get under there to look though. I wish I could post a picture up here but I cant. dont know how.

 

cool, thanks fir the info

 

yeah you have a bad main relay

 

WHY WOULD U NEED SOMEONE ELSES HELP TO CHANGE THE RELAY...IT TAKES LIKE 5 SECONDS....

YEAH I KNOW IM POSTIN IN ALL CAPS BUT IM TOO LAZY TO REWRITE..

 

i don't need help changing the relay, i can do that myself. i needed help figuring out if that is what it was, did you not understand the post or what?

 

they already told u its the main relay..if u have an ef they are bound to go bad eventually...so change it...did u not understand that or what?

 

chill out bro, i did understand what they told me. i was just being sarcastic.

 

its right above the hood lever under the steering wheel. i'd maybe see if you can run some solder in there to clean things up

 

yup a faulty connection will definitely cause the relay to malfunction...look if u can find any broken or open connections and fix if possible...if not then u need a new one <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by 89txrex &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">chill out bro, i did understand what they told me. i was just being sarcastic. </TD></TR></TABLE>that was not sarcasm it was beinadickism...im not here to give anyone a hard time im here to learn and teach man...the whole point of this forum is to help out fellow honda owners
