This is my first post on this forum and I am stumped. I just replaced the head gasket, timing belt, and water pump on my '88 Accord Lxi. The car was running extremely rough before I took it apart to fix some things and now it will not start for me.

I have spark at the plugs, but no fuel getting to the fuel rail. The main relay checked out ok and the fuel pump checked out ok. The problem seems to be before the main relay since I do not get a click from it when I turn the ignition on. The check engine light does NOT come on for 2 seconds like it is supposed to. There are no codes (no light at all) coming from the viewing window on the computer under the driver's seat. Could I have missed a wire or something when reassembling the head etc.? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I figured it out with the help of Ahknodd's main relay harness test and a couple of other posts. For anyone who has this same problem: if you do not hear the main relay click and the check engine light does not come on when you turn the key to the II position, check the number 2 pin on the main relay harness to see if it is grounding properly. Here is the link: https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/checking-main-relay-pics-2535047/ THANK YOU SO MUCH, IT WAS MAKING ME CRAZY!!!!!
