Default 91 std - no start =/

Prolly going to end up taking it to a shop, but Im wondering if this ever happened to anyone here.
Car wouldnt start after work one day. Ok, nothing THAT new (unfourtunately. I had to put in a new starter recently). Spark was good, fuel was pressurized.
Took out my main relay and gave it a few smacks and BANG. Started.

Ordered a new relay from bernadi parts, tossed it in and it worked great for a week. Now it takes me 10 minutes of turning the car over to get it started, switching between the old and new relays. Starts on both, but only after 10 minutes of trying to turn it over. I haven't gotten stuck yet, but obviously Im a little scared. Taking it to a shop tommorow most likely, since I have no multimeter and diagrams. Might be the wires/cap and rotor and plugs. Prolly all it is, but the car starts as is, it just takes awhile.

So lost and confused.


How do I jump the ecu for codes?

16 IS FUEL INJECTOR

EITHER MELTED, FILTER CLOGGED

OR INJECTOR IS BAD

TEST RESISTANCE

IF LOW AMPERAGE

REPLACE

Lots of work today.
Ordered a set of wires from honda, got plugs, found oil in my plug tubes so I got new seals. Got a distributor seal and valve cover gasket to go along with the new fuel filter.

Car starts ok so far, still throwing the 16 code. Seems to be a clog in the line, got it started by blowing an air gun into the tank. Fun fun. Dont even know where to start pulling **** off but it aint gonna be fun.

Still sounds like main relay. If its really hot where you live, the soldering on the relay could go bad.
