Default honda crx 88 dx.....helppppppp

I bought this crx like 3 month ago, the car was starting really nice, until the alternator went out, change the battery, change the alternator, but after that the car sometimes did started, sometimes I had to wait like 20 minutes......

I knew when was the car was going to start or not, you could hear the pump working, now It got to the point it is really hard or I have to be extremely lucky so the car will start....

do you guys thinks is my fuel pump, the main relay or posible fuel filter?


maybe a fuse? I dont know....please help me out...

thanks

Main relay is what I would look at. Is it hot or cold when it is starting? Are the cables good between alt and batt?
