Fuel Pump Problems

I have a 91 civic hatch, I disconected my fuel line to see if my pump was working, whenever i turn my car car on it works for a second and then it shuts off. What can cause this problem? And how can I fix it?

Is your fuel pump priming?

If it isn't sounds like it could be your PGM-FI main relay.

Is it turning on for one or two seconds when you turn the ignition swithch on? if so thats normal. The ECU is presurizing the fuel system.

Re: (JC18)

its priming then...but then nothing, i know im getting spark because when i spray starter fluid the car turns on then it shuts off. So its most likely my PGM-FI relay?
