Hello there my name is joey and i have a 1993 honda civic dx four door sedan 16 valve, 1.5 liter engine. car is currently having issues. when it first started it was while i was driving, as i was pressing on the gas pedal my car all of a sudden started to decelerate no matter how hard i pressed on the gas. then once i was to a complete stop i died just cut off. i tried to start it again but it wouldnt start. it sounds like its turning over so i dont think its my starter or anything like that. but its almost as if there was no fuel getting to the engine. i left it sitting for a couple days and then went back and it started and ran fine driving to my house. but since then has done the same thing two more times. a friend of mine suggested the fuel filter since it works after it sits for a couple days, so i replaced the fuel filter and yet its still having the same problem. can anyone please help me out and give a some suggestions on what it could be? PLEASE!!!! i need my car up and running like yesterday. haha. but anyways i was doing some research and i came to the conclusion that it could be my fuel pump (is there a way you can check if the fuel pump is working?), my fuel injectors (is there a way i can check those, and if thats the problem should i replace or just get some fuel injector cleaner?), or my main relay/fuel relay?? which is located under the steering wheel by the other fuses right?? and howcan i check if those are still good??? any and all information would be greatly appreciated!!!! thanks for your time

 

Most common problem is the PGM-FI Main Relay it powers the fuel injectors and the fuel pump among other things.

To test, when engine does not start, turn key to the run position, not all the way to start, look and listen, when the key is turned on the CEL will turn on and you should hear the fuel pump priming, hum from fuel pump, it will prime for no more then a few sec. and then stop, at the same time it stops the CEL will go out, if so go to start and engine should start.

If there is no hum from fuel pump...PGM-FI Main Relay problems and fixes 94
