Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 20051986 Accord - fuel pump relay problem - HELP!
Thought my fuel pump went out - replaced it, but still won't run. Replaced relay next, and it ran for around 50 miles and quit. Now won't start. No electricity to fuel pump - blue wire from ignition coil dead. #1 fuse going to relay is hot. I'm stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I need a car running by Monday morning! > Thought my fuel pump went out - replaced it, but still won't run. > Replaced relay next, and it ran for around 50 miles and quit.

Ignition switch? http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/startproblems.html#ignitionswitch  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Thanx for the response, but the problem is in or around the fuel cut-off relay.

Do you have a carb? SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Yes, it's carburated. I'm thinking the problem is electrical in nature - most likely in the fuel cut-off relay. > Yes, it's carburated.

Once the fuse gets too hot, it will blow, since it's easier to blow a hot fuse. Tegger's FAQ also shows a fix for wobbly fuses. It's the 'last resort' if you're not willing to take a lot of time. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with your real problem :-( 'Curly' "saltydad58" <saltydad1@nospam.cox.net> wrote in message news:3ab5405bef3b5fdf3debe6718d9fab48@localhost.talkaboutautos.com... > Thought my fuel pump went out - replaced it, but still won't run.

The fuel cut-off relay for the carb uses the tach signal from the coil (blue wire) in order to keep the fuel pump going. No blue wire, no pump. The solution is to probably to get a new coil. > "saltydad58" <saltydad1@nospam.cox.net> wrote > > Thought my fuel pump went out - replaced it, but still won't run.

Do what Preludeprob did, heeding Jim's warning. http://groups.google.com/group/rec.autos.makers.honda/msg/6031f4b56c5a109f Thanks for all the suggestions - especially to Curly Q and B Squareman. I'm thinking the coil may be the direction to look. No battery juice to the blue wire, and we are not going anywhere; and the weather has been hot here. Today's project: replacing coil. I'll let you know the results. |
