Default need help asap

driving to work today and long story short i ran out of gas. put gas in the car and it wouldnt start still. listened for fuel pump and it wasnt clicking so i replaced that.. still no clicking to indicate it being on. i dont know whats wrong. im thinking maybe main relay but all my dash lights are working and the car is cranking, it just wont fire. pretty sure it has spark just no fuel.. for the record its a 93 prelude si, h23.. need some opinions fast guys.. also no cel... tried fishing for a code and nothing came up... dont know if that helps.

change the main relay, and check your fuses. the old fuel pump can cause the fuse to blow.

It's under the dash on the driver's side. Looks like this

I agree. It sounds like the main relay.

check it by turning on the key and when the check engine light comes on it should come on and then click off . If it doesnt click off then its ur main relay.

if the car is cranking then it wouldnt be the main relay. I could be wrong? but i thought that no cranking or anything was a result of a dead main relay

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by silverlude15 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">the main relay sends fuel to the injectors to start up the car. without it working, theres no fuel to start up the car, and therefore no startup.

you can hear it when you turn on the ignition. it goes...whiiineee....clunk. then you are set. if you can't hear that, then your relay is bad.</TD></TR></TABLE>

thats exactly what its doing...
