Default Quick question, issue with starting car.

I have a 94 civic EX.
Recently I noticed having a hard time starting the car, but it only seemed to happen after i got gas or had driven for a long time, stopped the car then started it again.
I asked a few people, they said it wasn't a big deal, so i didn't think much of it :S

Well yesterday i drove out to my parents no problems.
Parked the car, got up this morning and tried to start the car.
It will not start for anything :\ its turning over but it won't start.
I really am clueless on whats up, I thought maybe fuel pump :/
but I don't want to go and spend money on something that doesn't solve the issue.

anyone have opinions? or anyways to really check that ****?

thanks.

Default Re: Quick question, issue with starting car.

turn the key to ON and listen for a click, low tone humming noise, then another click

that is the fuel pump priming

if you dont hear those clicks and the humming noise

then look into replacing the main fuel relay

under the drivers side of the dash, near the fuse box
