91 integra b18a1 my car takes a while to start (it cranks) yesterday i thought it was my spark plug wires and plugs because the spark plug seals were leaking oil in the hole where the plugs are so i fixed that and im still having problems with it starting and i didnt have any problems before the oil leak besides it bogging out when accelerating now when i rev it hesitates and it can barly make it to 5000 rpm now today i was listening for the fuel pump and i didnt hear it and it didnt start so i did it again this time i heard the fuel pump and it started so now i know it has something to do with the fuel but is it the pump or the relay? and if it is the pump what other pumps will work on this besides 90-93 integra and if it is the relay where is it located and how can i tell if its good or not and thanks for the help yesterday

 

b4 replacing ur fuel pump, make sure its not something small and alot less pricey that might be wrong....

1st check ur main fuel relay, cuz it might be going out...this happened to me b4 due to the mfr going bad...

the relay is located on the driverside underneath the dash/behind the steering column....look for a rectangular box w/ a brown trim on it....should say mitsuba on it...

good luck

 

check your grounds..

 

Easy way to see if it's the fuel main relay is to slap the bottom of the driver's side under dash panel as you try to start it. The vibration can cause the relay to free up for a second and the car will start faster than it has been. I did this for awhile to start my car until I finally replaced the main fuel relay and the problem went away completely.

 

Had the same problem on my 90 teg, when I would turn on ignition sometimes the relay would click on and sometimes it would'nt (then finally died!!). Replaced the main relay and haven't had the problem since. It was a few years back but I don't think it was that spendy.
