OK heres my problem.. fuel pump will not prime.

I bought the car about a week ago and everything was fine, started having starting issues a few days after. Soon wouldn't start at all. It has a kill switch wired to the fuel pump, so i tried buying a new switch.. no go. Ended up just going to where the kill switch had been spliced to the wire to the fuel pump is and just patched that wire back together.

Go to put the key in, and still fuel pump not priming. I checked the main relay, everything looked okay, not real sure what to look for it was kinda covered in some rust but the solders looked good.

So now I have no idea what to do or try?? I know its a wiring issue, it cant be anything big cuz i just got it started a couple days ago and it ran fine.

 

Get a friend who has ur same car....or really just another civic......try their mian relay.....and try their distributor.....a bad dizzy can cause those problems since the dizzy,fuel pump and ecu all run through the main relay

 

alright, my buddy is coming over soon and im gonna try to pop his main relay in. Im really hoping this will work, ive been so stressed out lately

 

ah it didn't work, the fuel pump still isn't priming.. that is my main issue, im wondering if there is a short somewhere or a blown fuse? Is there any fuses to check, i have looked at the ones under the dash and the ones by the battery all look fine. Please help!!

 

Did u try the other distributor as well?.....get a sharpie and make a mark on his dizzy and cam cap so u can line it back up when your done......take off the dizzy and put it on your car.....hook up the plugs and see what happens

 

The relay should click when you turn the key. Just grab it to feel the click if you cant here it. If you dont feel or here anything try and figure out what is not turning the relay on.

 

well if its a 96 and up civic, check the fuel pump fuse

 

get a manual and check out the reccomended procedure to see that your pump is getting the 12v signal on key-on.. or get a multimeter and test at the connector on the pump.
