Here's what I got. I have a 96 civic with a built motor, tuned ecu from past setup. So it's not tuned yet. Can't get the car to start the days of my tuning appt,s. Really sucks. Anyway, I have a pretty good wire tuck. My engine bay fuse box is also tucked. Now when the car was all together it started up with no problem. I get the car home and the pump doesn't want to turn on. My mechanic thinks it's the turbo timer, so I unhooked that, and the thing is, the pump will come on sometimes after I leave the key on for like a whole minute or two. But not everytime. It's really frustrating. Any help will be greatly appreciated, and yes, I already searched. Nothing related to my problem.

 

Sounds like a main relay problem to me. Check for power to the main relay and from the main relay to the fuel pump.

 

i agree, main relay may be going out or grounds

 

thanks guys, I'll check that out.

 

main relay or cap went bad in the ECU. both are common problems.
both are easy to fix if you can solder.
