iv been having a lil prblem im guessing its the fuel pump main realy. in the mornings the car wont start. i would tug on the fuel pump wires and it would star. now not even tugging on them it still wont start. i have to get a test light and play with the #1 wire and it starts can this be the relay or fauls contact on the harness i took the hole thing appart as u can see and none of the fule pump wire seem to be spliced or cut any were. let me know what u guys think

thanks in advanced..

why would you tug on wires? that made your problem worse.

WOW!!!.....youre gonna need more than the 6 inch crescent wrench and the few bucks in the second pic LOL

 

^yeah...like your gonna need a new car...but ive been there. its a nightmare but only the owner knows what wires are what and can put it back together like legos

 

you should have just checked the wiring at the pump for the correct voltage....listen in the tank when you turn the key to "run" and see of you hear the pump kick on...opening the filler and pushing the little fuel door open with a screw driver helps. if that failed then you need to see if voltage is getting to the pump. if so, you had a bad fuel pump. if not you had a bad relay possibly. you could have put a fuel pressere gauge on your fuel rail and tested it as well for the correct pressure. if so you could have checked the relay. and dont forget to check the fuses too. damn that sucks you took your whole car apart.

 

might as well change the heater core while youre there now. i would

 

when i turn the key the cel light stays on the relay dosnt do the second click when i put the test light to it it like if it jumps it and then it starts working againg the whole day untill the morning time its been really humid these last couple days thats when it started doing this problem

i did check to see if there was power going to the pump when the relay dosent click there is no power when it dose i here the pump flowing

i dont know if its a fauls contact or just the relay

 

i put eveything back together and got some thing good out of it now i have turn signals that i didnt have before i regret buying this hatch somethimes but right now in my mind is that i have to fix it so i have too lol

 

bad relay bro. replace it

 

junk yar advanced or honda?

 

advanced or some auto parts store. they are gonna be new. junk yard relays are hit or miss. i get them a lot just because they're free. but i have seen many that are bad from the junk yard too. (i'm good friends with the junk yard owners)

 

what was up with the turn signals? the turn signal flasher relay? or the hazard relay? (i know some cars have both in one unit)

 

they werent working the hazard switch wasnt connected and im gussing that was causing the problem i had replaced the turn signal relay and still didnt work till i ripped of the dash and put it back together the hazard switch was never connected but i tryied the old relay and it was gone any ways the guy who had the car before me was a disaster they had a single filiment bulb on the rear brake lights no bulbs on the front tuning signals the car was wow i have straighten this car up like nasty compeard to before all them loose wires are a wrapped in electrical tape and in the black housing they go in

 

it dosent look that bad all covered up lol

 

damn i know about the wiring issues. i hate crappy wiring. i have the OEM wire loom. its 5mm and has a heat rating of 320 degrees F. i also have the thermal tape that increases the heat rating to 900 degrees F. and i have the OEM wiring in bulk just like they have at the factory. i went through great lengths of trouble to get it with the factory color codes on the wire housing/insulation like i say...i hate crappy wiring LOL

 

lol im hating it now hopefully it all come out well the next thing i gotta do is the wind shield wiper switch is gone im guessing it dosnt work at all exepet when i hit it down it gose up and donw once lol frustrating

 

ttt

 

I used to have the same problems out of relays. I even kept an extra one in the car for the humid days when I'd drive somewhere and then the car would not even crank when I was ready to leave.

Solved it by resoldering the connections in the main relay. Brittle old solder joints + heat = no power. I've had no problems with it since the repair. Also, if you don't know how to solder, now would probably be a good time to learn.

See here: http://techauto.awardspace.com/mainrelay.html

Hope that helps.

 

re-solder the main relay, it should take all of 5 minutes to fix it.. and another 10 hours putting the car back together after you thrashed on it.

 

10 hours??dam i put the car back together in about 2 and a half hours thats vaccumeing that dirty floor and rug cars is already back together as i posted them picks of it. i jus left the main relay to were i can acces it e z and quickly.

 

alright thanks man my problem is not when hot tho is in the morning when its cool but humid but imma jut open it uo and see if its the solder thanx tho

 

yo lots of good info in the link thanks

 

ok i just changed the main relay and nothing car still dont run

 

any one please need some help and suggestions
