Hey there! First and foremost I am a female and a newb so please dumb it down for me. I bought this car 93 accord EX F22A6 engine A/T and it has been a nightmare ever since I got it home. Since we got the car we have: flushed tranny and radiator, changed oil, carb cleaned EGR valve, relpaced spark plugs, fixed 2 vacuum kinks and 1 leak, now the car is having starting issues after my roomate decided that he wanted to tinker with it at 2 am..... can't tell me what he did lol. FML. The last 3 days have been spent trying to get the car to kick over. I got a new starter and installed it but it would turn over but not start up. I was thinking it might be an issue with the alarm system that was ripped out before I purchased the vehicle. (yes i have checked all fuses and as many grounds as I could find and everything seems intact) I went ahead and removed the relay from under the dash that was for the alarm as well as the relay that was in the engine bay attached to the fuse box. Under the steering wheel there is the ignition "relay?" with 4 wires (no diode jumper) green, yellow, white, and black/white. The yellow and white were connected they have been removed from one another and have been soldered back together proplerly, yet the car will not turn. Doesn't sound like the fuel pump is engaging and I can't figure out where to start trouble shooting from here. Can I rewire the starter to the ignition or should I get a new main relay for where the fuel pump is controlled? I just learned most of this information in the last week, so bear with me if I am incorrect in any of this feel free to tell me. Criticisim is taken with a smile as long as it's productive Pls help me get this car out of my garage before I just scrap it for parts.

 

Have somebody listen to the fuel pump, it should prime when you turn the switch to the "on" position You can even hear the one in my mothers 2010 Hyundai Sonata which is SILENT so if you aren't hearing it that could be an issue. You could also try replacing or finding an ignition relay from your local junkyard or the main relay could be going bad. My 2c.

 

Thank you! No I don't hear the pump. I was thinking about going down and getting a new relay but it was activating fine before the roomie touched it, Having an impossible time figuring out which wires may have been crossed. Whoever had this car made a disaster of this wiring system when they put in the alarm/remote start and stereo ( i.e. all my stereo wires are barbie pink). The relay was fine I'm wondering that since I disconnected the alarm if there is a wire that I took out that disabled my fuel injection/pump/something idk. I think I will go to the salvage yard.

 

If removing the alarm and the starter can still turn the engine, though not started, could means it's not the alarm problem. As the starter kill usually is involve with the alarm.
For the main relay, if you could remove it and use a soldering iron and just re-flow the solder, that should fix it. Have you check the fuses?
How's your battery? Some times messing with the alarm will kill the battery. Also check the ground connections and all wiring connections. Some times it's just as easy as the ground cable loose.
For Honda cars, you don't want to flush the tranny. Always use Honda brand tranny fluid only.
