Default main relay symptoms but its brand new.. what else could it be?

ok i think im either haveing some ground or power issue's

i have symptoms like a bad main relay but i know thats not the problem, i just replaced mine with a brand new one from honda that i bought yesterday

my injectors arent fireing, ecu isnt seeing power, and fuel pump isnt primeing

earlier i had a check engine light and now i dont get one at all.. the main relay buzz's instead of clicking like it should and im kinda stumped on what to check

anyone know anything that could cause symptoms like this other then a main relay?

we had the same exact problem. it turned out being a bad ground. between the ecu and the water neck thermostat ground. to test it, we took all the grounds for the ecu and re-grounded them right to the chassis. car fired right up.

hope it helps.
