92 prelude. It used to have trouble starting in hot weather but was ok later when it cooled. But now it doesn't start at all. I see what I think is the main relay. Look like it's hooked upside down with about 8 wires going into it. I think I can feel 2 clicks when trying to start the car when it should have 3 clicks? Also can I push start it if a main relay is bad? I've stuck at my friend's place in chino hills and have to drive 50 miles to Orange county. So any advice is appreciated

the engine would not run with a busted main relay. It supplies power to the injectors and fuel pump. Also runs to starter switch, battery, ground....and one more but i cant remember right now. There are 7 terminals on the relay itself.

 

Damn I did not know it also went to the starter. I thought it was only for fuel pump and injectors. Blake , sorry for the posting in the pics thread too man.

 

well how is the fuel pump supposed to know that the ignition gets turned "on" and needs to prime the fuel
