This is a VERY common problem.
Since early August of this year I have seen almost 20 bad relays from 198? through the late 1990s. It is harder to find and remove them then to repair. If you can't solder ask around, surely a friend can do it. It is well worth the extra time and effort to drill some ventalation holes in the plastic case. The relays and resistors get too hot. By drilling 6 3/8" holes I was able to lower the inside temp by a large amount. Lower tep means longer life, with fewwer problems. The relays are in sealed boxes so dust will not be a problem.

ANd to answer your actual question- Its in the tank. You have to drop
the tank for replacement. To fill in the blanks from the other responses- When you turn on the key you should hear the fuel pump kick on for a few seconds and then hear the relay turn it off before starting. hecking the relay is easier, and you wont get your hands dirty. If that doesnt fix it run some power to the fuel pump leads to see if its really dead. You'l find those wires under the back seat. -SP bloodhound wrote: > can someone tell where the fuel pump is on a 4 door 1990 honda civic. i am > having a problem with no gas getting to the injecters what can be the > problem. someone told me there was a relay under the dash that controls the > fuel pump is this true? > > > |
