The car is a 90 crx dx all stock. The main relay buzzes once when you click to the start postion. All grounds are checked and tightened including thermostat. The fuel pump turns on when you jump it at the main relay connector. It gets voltage on teh first check. But no voltage on the last two checks in the manual. Both # 2 and 14 fuse are good. Is there anyway to bypass and make it work. Also tried 4 different relays so it's not that either. thanks for yor help. I am getting spark also. I think it would start just needs fuel.

so its not getting fuel or spark or what? could also be your ignition switch half the ef's ive owned had bad ignition switches. probably because theve all been stolen at one time.

 

Sorry changed the ign switch, and i believe when your ign switch goes you just get a click click, and no crank at all. My car cranks just fine. I'm guessing it a short somewhere. Looked everywhere now and still trying. Thnaks though

 

just a thought and you can have a bad ignition switch that will turn the motor over but wont let it start cause there is a thick wire going to your ignition switch that goes to your distributor and gives it ignition. are you getting fuel and spark?

 

Well i changed the ign switch so it should be good, and I am getting spark just no fuel. Can I bypass the main relay and connect the power from the fuel pump to the ign power? The buzz at the start makes me think its a ground. Where is a good place to ground the black wire on teh main relay. Or can I ground the fuel pump from undr the storage compartment in the back, and then run the power wire to the ign? Thnanks again

 

Ok i cut the ground wire on the main relay harness and re grounded, and now I'm getting continuity so that better, but i'm still not getting the fuel pump priming and the main relay still buzzes at second click of the ign, like a ground is good. Should I just wire my fuel pump directly to the ign now?

 

did u check your fuel filter to see it its dirty?, and if u do change the filter have someone crank the engine (with the filter still off) to see if fuel shoots out of the fuel line, other than that it might be some thing else like really low compression

 

the engine is a known good, and i get fuel when i connect the pump directly.

 

i was having a similar problem with an integra.. no spark, fuel pump was good, no power getting to the injectors... replaced the main relay and distributor and still wouldnt start!!! replaced the ecu and the ****** started right up!!!!!

 

hell i'll try chenging the ecu tomorrow thanks
