I bought a 1993 accord to drive back and forth to work...long story short the main relay was supposed to be bad so the PO had the pump hot wired so the car would run. It ran fine. I drove it home and it ran like a champ. Got home parked it. then I went to start the car to move it and it would not fire.

The fuel pump runs when I cut the key on...but I am getting no fuel. None TO the filter. I pulled the access panel where the wiring goes in on the passengers side in the trunk but there is just a orange plug there. Does not look like a fuel pump at all. I assume sending unit?

I have read some places you need to drop the tank to replace pump and other places say you do not.

My car has no access panel on the drivers side in the trunk. I have not had a chance to crawl under it because of rain.

Am I thinking right that even though it the pump runs, and can be heard clearly it is still bad...seeing as I am not getting fuel at the filter?

Any advice would be appreciated. Also I was told they had replaced the main relay once previously. Is there a reason it woulda went twice? Or just shabby luck?

 

And the part where you remove the left FRONT wheel, that is about the point you should stop reading that....

I thought the 4th gens still had a way of checking the voltage but not pulling the pump. Are you sure there is gas in the tank?

 

well there was fuel in the tank I even cracked the drain plug to make sure but I added a little more gas to make sure it was picking it up and it started right up....I feel like a moron.

I asked the previous owner as soon as this happened if the fuel gauge worked right because it is showing 1/4 tank. And was told it did...oh well live and learn. Thanks for the reply

 

Hey, you got it going...that is what is important.

I'd really look into getting the pump working properly, not hot wired.
