Why dont you go buy a manual , make sure your getting 12volts to the relay and go from there. Why do you hate honda's, you gota be smarter than the car ya know.

When you first turn the key to "run", do you hear a hum while the Check Engine light is on? That would be the fuel pump.

If not, either the pump or main relay feeding power to it is faulty. Resoldering the main relay is as good as buying a new one in 95% of the cases of failure.

I have the same problem and i know for sure its the main fuel relay. What would need resoldering? just all the solder points inside it?

Yeah, you might as well hit them all while you're in there. They develope hairline fractures around the joints causing intermittent starting problems.
