Hi all. I have a '92 Accord. No fuel at motor. I can't here the pump cycle when I hit the key. is there anyway to test it short of pulling the tank?-Mike

 

You can get to the wires from behind the back seat (inside the trunk), and test for power to the pump.

 

I tried that. the cover for the sending unit is back there. Where are the cables for the pump? I pulled the back seat. Am I missing something? Perhaps under the door molding? I was under the car for an hour. Unless they ran them inside the frame, I can't find them. thanks for the fast reply !-Mike

 

Anybody? I need to fix this thing. Snow is coming!

 

The Yellow wire at pin 4 on the main relay up under the dash is the 'feed' to the fuel pump.

Hmm try this link

This is also a common sign of a bad main relay; you can open it up and check for bad solder joints at the relay coils on the circuit board, then resolder them.

 

Where is the main relay? I see the fuses under the dash. On top of them I see three relays. 2 are mechanical so I removed the covers and engaged them manually. No good. The third relay has 3 prongs instead of 4 and is solid state. Is that the one for the fuel pump?

Thanks for being patient with me.-Mike

Hope this helps

 

Woo-Hoo !!! That was easy when ya know where to look. Thanks all. It looks like the pump is bad after all. I hear that is rare with the '90 up Accords. I bought it knowing it had a fuel problem. I have owned earlier Accords in the past and the pump was easy on those. Just pop the cover. Imagine my surprise when I got this home!

Any tricks for dropping the tank? these lines are awful rusty.........

 

Anybody? The lines are VERY rough. Can I take an air-nibbler and cut a hole in the trunk floor and change the pump that way?
Fuel lines-$165, $54 and $64 for the set.

 

Hey all! I got the tank down without disconnecting the lines. The lines are rough but they seem pretty strong. I lowered the tank down until I could pull the pump and stick the new one in there. Now I have to decide if the lines are safe enough to drive around with. The pressure line is rusty but it seems to be really heavy duty. Anybody? If the line blows the car will probably go up in flames before I get a chance to bale out. Anybody?

 

Alright, Got it together with the new pump and one new line.

Now it runs and dies. I can turn the key, Hear the relay click and start the car. It runs for a while then dies. If I turn it off and try it again the relay will not come on and it wount run. Tried it over and over and the only time the car starts is when the relay cycles. Is there something else that controls the relay? Fuel pressure? Oil pressure? I've never seen a relay that only work some of the time.


WTF ????????????????????

 

Ignition switch, you could try releaseing it from the crank position really slow to see if the engine keeps running. If you remove the steering column shroud you can look at the electrical part of the switch, if any of the solder joints look 'frosty' the switch is bad.
Or it could be a bad main relay, pop that sucker open and look for bad/cracked solder joints at the relay coil connections on the board.

 

it was the relay. Thank you and good night!
