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.

 

stupid question. where the hell is the main relay, i know on my old civic and gsr it was the brown relay under the dash. i can hear it click when i crank the car but cant get at it to see it.

 

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

 

I agree. It sounds like the main relay.

 

thanks for the quick replies.. im going to honda tommorrow to order it, since our advanced auto and autozone are gay and dont have it..

 

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

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...
