yesterday my car died on my going up hill....

checked the fuel pump.. it was barely pumping... so today got a walbro 255 and installed it.. its pumping fine but car still won't start...


what else is wrong .. hella frustrated

 

Check your main relay, it runs power to your fuel pump

 

what's the main relay? and how do you check? the fuel pump is pupping fine, took off tha bolt on the fuel rail and it sprayed fuel out.

 

You sure it wasn't your injectors that were bad?

 

checked main relay clicks 3 times. once when u put on start, once when the check engline light blinks off, and one when u start the crank... damn well least i got the fuel going.. spark , maybe.. compression and timing belt, its pretty much a fresh motor so dunno

 

hmm how can i check for that xD? well we chekced my car yesterday.. we pulled the 17 bolt on the fuel rail and it was barely oozing out fuel... so we changed the fuel pump and it sprays now... so fuel pump was definatley bad.. porbably the stock one... running a h22 now

 

bump

 

take out your injectors and see if they spray

 

sorry how do you take injectors out?

 

Are you getting spark? Fuel? neither? Check here before you spend anymore money and troubleshoot the problem.

turn your key to ON if you CEL light stays on its the main relay in not make sure your getting spark

 

nope main relay is good.. the cel goes off after liek a second.

i wonder if its possilbe that i installed the fuel pump wrong.. because yesterday b4 i installed it i tried to crank it to see if my old fuel pump was still good and it ALMOST started.. the rpms rised but didnt fully start.

and now i changed the fuel pump and the engine cranks but no turnover . i can hear the fuel pump working though, its like hissing when i put it on the on position xD.

ima check the injectors and check for spark.. anyone close to 91765 wanan come down and help a noob out xD

 

having same problem, 97 civic was jerking on acceleration, then finally wouldnt start all together . changed out the fuel pump, where is the relay

 

We are all having the same problems at the same time
Ill let you know how and if I fix my similar situation. If you can get the service manual there is a very detailed section on the fuel injectors and ECU trouble shooting. Here is a more detailed write up for the main relay other than just hearing a click... Also has info on ignition problems and ECU problems!
