hey guys yesterday when i went to go to start my car the fuel pump didnt prime and the main relay doesnt click its kind of a hit or miss.i also tried a different main relay and it didnt fix the problem so i think it might be the fuel pump.would a dying fuel pump cause this to happen and also cut out while driving. I went to recheck it and now when the car shuts off by itself the fuel pump keeps on turning on every like 2 seconds???and keeps on re-priming. what could it be?? ive checked all the grounds and fuses too.

 

is it the same relay... i know honda uses to different brand of relays...

 

Check the ignition switch.

hmmmm ok ill search on how to do that is that usually what wrong when the car keeps on trying to prime after it shuts off.??? because it will run for like 10 seconds or like 5 minutes then just randomly shuts off???

It's a possible suspect for the symptoms you've listed. So is the Main Relay. Do you have a Helms manual? What about a multi-meter?

 

i tried 2 different main relays and they were both working before also i dont have a multimeter mine is broken.so leaning towards ignition switch orrrrrrr fuel pump?
