Default Main Relay Location?

It must be my main relay since I am getting fuel and I have replaced the dizzy. The car still will not start after it warms up. Please help me ASAP with location of the Main Relay and I am open to any suggestions. Thanks in advance.

The main relay is located under the dash on the drivers side right behind the hood lever easy 2 find.

The way the guys at the Honda dealership do it is to take the insides
from the new relay and just pop them into the old case not bothering with unbolting it from the car...
When you get your new one,Look at the bottom where it snaps in..
It has two tabs which hold it in place..

That is a great idea about the case. Will have to use that trick in the future. That relay was a big PITA when I had to replace mine.

Is it possible for the main relay to be messed up and the fuel pump still manage to come on?
I have a walboro external fuel pump and it is right under the hood. I replaced the dizzy so I figured it would have to be the Main Relay. My fuel pump does not sound the same on those occasions that my car does not start but it does come on. Does it still sound like the Main Relay??

This is a thread I did on my main relay:

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=677135

My car would start then die when it got warm and wouldn't start again.
I thought for SURE it was fuel related. I replaced my gas cap, my fuel filter, my main relay AND my ignition switch.... turned out I wasn't getting spark and I had to replace my coil and ignitor (for the 3rd time!).
