car wont start (too many search listings)
ok my crx didnt run good b.c i replaced te engine with one that has 245k on it. but this morning i drove it to school fine. then after school got out wit wouldnt not start. i could smell gas when i opened the hood. i was thinking fuel pump. but do they just go out all of a sudden? It starts to start, then stops. im not sure whats happening. Im in MI and its kinda cold like 45 degrees or so outside. any help here? thanks
we need more information in order to help u, but it could be anything with this minimal information, the batter? alternator? starter? distrbutor? spark plug, it could be the fuel pump or filter, so we'd appreciate more info....
good luck though,

ok i got more info, we replaced the spark plugs and it still wouldnt work. we checked the fuel rail we unscrewed that little nut deal on the end, gas came out so its getting fuel. and, we came up with this, by the fuses inside there is a kinda humming noise i guess. the guy who helped me is also an electrician, he said it coulkd be a relay and it probably has never been replaced and they should be b/c they go bad sometimes. the CEL will also flash on too. i think it has been slowly going bad. could this cause my car to jerk alot and idle all crazy too? my car had been doing this also.any help would be appreciated
try the main relay under the dash by your left leg.... if the car cranks but doesnt turn over, that is where you may want to start... then work your way to the expensive stuff... distributor coil, ignitor... etc

it is the main relay! i researched some more and that sounds exactly the problem. where can i get one for cheap? if this isnt answered by 4 30 dotn bother b.c ill have bought one form the dealer by then. ok thanks guys!

fix yours , most of the time the solder cracks open and doesnt complete the circuit , you will see the cracked spot on the circuit board itself , just reheat with a soldering iron and you should be good to go...
