I have a 2006 civic si that will not crank or start. All that happens when I turn the key is the fuel pump relay clicks rapidly. Lights do not dim or go out. Where should I look for a problem?

 

.....for real with this question?

 

Starter relay in the ECM maybe?

 

97 that did not do the trick. still the same response. any other ideas or threads on here that may assist me?

 

Fuel, air, spark...

Cranks so we know that the possibility of spark is there, have you checked that your ignition system is good at all four cylinders? Pull a plug and have someone crank while you lol at the plug during cranking. There should be a good even spark sequence.

As well, you say the fuel pump clicks rapidly, does it pressurize the fuel rail? Can you check pressure at the rail?

Air shouldn't be a problem either. I trust the air filter is new?

 

I own a 92 Acura Vigor and a 2007 Honda Odyssey along with my 06 Civic. Contrary to the complaints that I have viewed here, our Civic has been a champion. The handling fits between my Vigor and Odyssey. It handles crisp like my Vigor without the stiff ride. It gets 40 mpg with the a/c on at 77 mph . I just replaced the rear brake pads at 74,000. It is only on its second set of tires. Knock on wood, I'll keep it as long as it continues to perform like it has.

 

97 the fuel pump relay clicks rapidly. No it does not crank. I have traced the starting system up to the starter control relay. do you know exactly where this relay is located?

 

No, I do not. But I can look it up hopefully.

 

The relay is in a fuse panel located directly below the steering column.

 

It is the center one at the top, blue in color.

 

I got the info from Answers.com
