94 accord, 94 h22 swap.

car ran before i removed the motor for some work. Tried to start over the weekend and the car would not prime the fuel pump.

when i turn the key to II i can hear a rather rapid clicking behind the dash. and the cel comes on, but it is dim. The car will turn over.

Im assuming the clicking is a relay. Does it sound like Im not grounding the batt, engine, chasis very good or is the relay on the way out?

Thanks in advance.

 

yes the cliking is the fuel pump relay. ill try an other relay those thing r know to go out on older hondas. u can take it apart and resolder the goints work great done it twice already. also it wont hurt to check ur battery and wiring something could be lose around the battery...gl

 

Sounds like a voltage drop somewhere.

 

Had a similar problem once with my CRX, ended up being one of my grounds but you can check here if that doesn't fix it: http://techauto.awardspace.com/mainrelay.html

 

if you hear the clicking in the dash (drivers side, i think), it probably is the relay. you can probably pull it out and test it and the socket w/ a multi-meter, or just buy a new one, or a known good used one, and try swapping it.

i would probably start just by rechecking all the connections in the engine bay, and where ever the relay grounds (probably a ground block somewhere in the dash). if that checks out, i would try can try swapping out the relay, or testing it and the connections.
