i drove my teg for the 1st time in 6 months since i bought my TSX and it ran fine but after when i was leavin my boys house it wouldn't want to start i wasn't hearing the fuel pump an i would hear it cuz its the walbro 255 hp. but not too long after work today i went bak to the car an it started up fine on the first crank. the fuses was good but what else could've been the problem? i want to take the car out to the track next w/end but not sure if it will run into problems. the only thing i could tink of was maybe cuz of the fuel being old. well its a JDM H22 i got on the car jus for some info but if anyone can help out i would greatly appreciate it.

 

Main relay, the contact points are weak and tend to not make contact in extreme heat. It is located by your left knee behind the coin tray(When you sit in the drivers seat). If you pull that out you should be able to see a grey box and it is held in by a 10 mm bolt. You can open the box but a new one is around 50$. I am 99% sure that is the problem

 

If you search, there is a procedure on the net somewhere that tells you how to resolder the contacts in the main relay. I had a similar problem in my DA.

 

thanks alot for your help i had the relay replaced less than a year ago and it turns out to be the fuel pump. i found out that the Walbro Pumps only last about a yr or so and i've had it for bout 2 yrs now. so i already got one. just really surprised thats all they last for, i would've expected more reliability than just 2 years.
