Default Fuel Pump wont prime

Hey guys,

Took my accord out last night, started up fine at my house. Went and grabbed a few beers and when I came out of the bar I couldnt get it to run. Just cranks over and over. Fuel pump isnt priming whatsoever. I've had this issue before but it was intermittent. I could wait a little and keep clicking to "ON" and eventually I would hear the pump kick over. I replaced my main relay about 5 months ago and the problem went away.

I tried all last night and this morning to get it going and no priming at all. Tough to believe its the main relay again since its new and I cant get anything out of it.

Any other ideas?

edit:

went out and worked on it on my lunch break. Swapped in a new main relay, nothing. Checked the fuses inside the car and the ECU fuse was blown. I put another one in there and it popped again.

So right now Ive got a popped ecu fuse and the pump not priming at all.

Any ideas to why this fuse keeps popping?

If the fuse is popping well you have some short...

unplug the ecu and try with another fuse... unplug the main relay and try again to discard...

could be some wire going to ground...
